reminds me of the US allowing Saudis suspected of sex crimes and murder to leave the country, don't think they really wanted to put her on trial despite all the hullabaloo..

If it were me, or most others I would've been extradited by now.

If his alleged crimes would've happened wholly within the UK there would've been a cover-up, guaranteed.

So she got away with murder then. 

I think this is an attempt by Raab to make the irritating parents go away.  There is no way this woman will return to face what she has done while Trump is in the White House.  Just maybe, when there is a real President in there and Britain has got rid of the <deleted> lickers,  then it might be overturned but I won't hold my breath.

No. It is the UK, not Thailand.

As bad as it is,  this is nothing new and the American won't face  justice. 

 

- 2002 Russian diplomat Andrei Knazyevan ran  down an Ottawa lawyer, her friend and her dog with his car killing them. The victims were on the sidewalk. The driver returned to Russia within days of the incident. After the crash, he refused a breathalizer test, citing diplomatic immunity.

 

- 2013 an American diplomat in Kenya was speeding and  crossed the center line in his SUV and rammed into a full mini-bus, killing a father of three whose widow was six months pregnant. U.S. Embassy officials in Nairobi rushed the American and his family out of Kenya the next day, leaving the crash victims with no financial assistance to pay for a funeral and for hospital bills for the eight or so others who were seriously injured.

 

And then there is the double standard;

- In 1997 Giorgi Makharadze was the deputy ambassador of the Republic of Georgia to the United States. While driving in Washington, D.C. around midnight, Makharadze caused an accident that injured four people and killed a 16 year old Brazilian girl, After the accident he was found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.15, but was  released from custody because he was a diplomat. The U.S. government asked the Georgian government to waive his immunity, which they did and Makharadze was tried and convicted of manslaughter by the U.S. and sentenced to seven to twenty-one years in prison. The first three years of his sentence were served in a North Carolina prison. He was repatriated to his home nation of Georgia in 2000 to continue serving his sentence; and was released on February 27, 2002.

I doubt the charges against her would have risen above ‘Dangerous Driving’, and more likely ‘Driving with undue care and attention’.

 

Every year thousands of people are killed in road ‘accidents’ on British roads, it’s undoubtedly a slaughter, but murder, no.

Thousands?? Less than 2,000 in recent times

No one should be allowed to drive, in another country, until they demonstrate they know the rules of the road. 

Well that counts out 99.99% of Thais

I believe it counts out 99.99% of farangs driving in Thailand, because I haven't got a clue what the rules of the road are. Especially the rules at junctions; they appear to change day by day.  I won't even venture any opinion on the rules you should adopt at a roundabout.
