Narinthip said she stopped and was scared. She never thought she would kill anyone. She said she would take full responsibility saying she had already sent 15,000 baht to the dead woman's family. 

And therein lays the issue. "they don't think" after drinking all night it's fine to drive home.

I hope she gets manslaughter and 10 years in jail to keep thinking about her actions !

It's difficult for me to think anyone using these decals is making any deep social statement, but just trying to be funny, a lot like the spring antenna or the fuzzy ears on their motocy helmets.

The police crash investigation expert has recently changed his story.  Apparently the driver of the vehicle was stationary, and the motorbike slid into her after travelling sideways at high speed.

I don't think she understands what full responsibility means. 15,000 is just a laughable number to even begin to make amends.

Full responsibility means going to jail and stumping up a whole lot more than a paltry $500. What is worse of course is the fact that this happens day in, day out and the herd never learn.

She needs to "friend" Red Bull "Boss". He knows how to fix it....maybe.

She didn't say that was all she was going to do, that wasn't even the suggestion, in fact, the wording suggests that the B15k was just initial compensation.

Back in the UK in the 1960s/70s there used to be go faster stripes, Tony the Esso Tiger tails sticking out of the fuel tank cover or the boot.

We had those in the US as well.  "Put a tiger in your tank."

 

Good way to cover a dent:

As you say "and the herd never learn." It is like a herd immunity to road accidents. No one cares that 50 - 70 people die every day on the roads, but you see everyone wearing face masks as they are terrified of the coronavirus.

'50 - 70 people die every day'

 

'Bout the same as in the US of A - from guns -

I love the way people frame it as "they don't think".  As if the 1000's of foreigners polishing barstools every night don't do the same.  And worse.  In fairness, there's a lot fewer foreigners, and a lot of them don't even own vehicles in country.  But I can't count the number of guys I've seen crawl down from their barstool, hop in the car and drive off.

I think deaths are far higher then 50-70 a day as this figure only includes people who die at the scene of the accident and does not include those who pass away in the ambulance or at hospital so the true number attributed to road accidents could easily exceed 100 a day.

All facts and figures are false in Thailand so I agree with you. It's impossible to get a straight answer to the most basic of questions in Thailand without being lied to. Ask someone with a watch on what the time is, they'll say they don't know. Ask a noodle soup vendor carrying a massive fanny pack of coins to change a 100 baht note, they'll say they don't have. Ask a Thai person what colour the sky is and they'll tell you purple polka-dots.

"They don't think" encapsulates everyone who drinks & drive, I didn't single out any nationality.

Thais have a problem with traffic lights They dont know the difference between Red and Green and just drive straight through them. Dont matter if they are sober or drunk

How dare someone infer that a person who drinks all night and then drives through a red light isn't a decent person?

 

Oh, the shame! Why are people not assuming this 15k is merely a taster of the sweet deal that the deceased's family will be getting.

Unfortunately this kind "accident" happen every day in Thailand! If guilty person have enough money and happening not go to puplic notice (news). She or he never go to jail! Pay victim's family and police, case closed! Sick but true! This kind never end here if some people always think they can get away whit money!

In England, we're scared to do it because they have a very clever idea - TRAFFIC POLICE driving around in cars. They stop people and breathalyse them... I was always nervous going in to town in the car in the evening when pubs were open, there would be police lurking all over the place.

 

In Thailand, police have a more interesting approach, standing at junctions all day and sleep all evening.

Make it 10,000 baht per report, payable in cash by the driver. Of course the driver must pay but if it is a false report then the person who reports it gets fined 10,000 baht also. 5,000 to the innocent driver and 5,000 to the police station where the officer is stationed.
