cardinalblue Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 He just had a bad day...wife left him so is that not a good excuse? Better than brakes don’t work or wet conditions since Thais Gov doesn’t take driving seriously, any excuse works for the society... he has a broken heart...a little collateral damage is expected 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't been very observant then. There are other less visually pleasing aspects of the human body than the feet! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the big bellies and big boobies on the disgusting shirtless guys. I think I would rather look at someones feet, and no, I don't have a foot fetish. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just arrested ! Killing people doesn't guarantee a long custodial sentence in Thailand ! So many other factors!

Chelseafan Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 He explained that he is a motorcycle taxi rider himself. In the morning he had been at his rank getting drunk because his wife had left him. Unless I am not reading this properly, he was getting drunk whilst on duty so not only endangering himself but also the unlucky sod who rode with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
