Nonsense. How is whatever may be said here going to influence the outcome of this tragedy?

I did not see anyone say that anything on here would influence the outcome. The post was straightforward. 

[Rocking Robert]

Please don’t be American well I hope he’s not British then I hope he’s not French and he may be Russian everyone hoping he’s not one of them

[shackleton]

One way or the other its going to cost him a lot of money hospital bills ect

And if its a big if alcohol is involved  jail or even deportation 

Should be considered

It can be done. If you have a dui on your record you probably will be refused entry if you come to my country. They have enough drunks on the road, they don't need more. 

Canada will not allow you in with a DUI

BRAVO

Throw the ------ Idiot into jail.

No not even Jail

 

Throw him out onto the street and let the Families have him

 

If he can afford a 1,000,000 Baht truck let the Families have that to begin with then dry up his bank account and anything else he has

[Derek B]

Beware of all pick up drivers....................the head line is misleading - why bother to quote the driver's nationality - apply the driving laws equally.

Deary me - would you really want possession of the truck that killed your kids. It is not worth 1m baht now anyway. Throwing him to the locals is not even "an eye for an eye" - family would loose the option to legally extort funds. Jail would take him off the roads though.

It was a scene of chaos yesterday as I was coming home. Ambulance staging area transfering bodies, I counted five ambulances. I did not see the accident but it was clear the truck driver just plowed into the scooters at speed. 

Of course, it was you was coming home, they don't expect you.

Let´s say like this! It stands in the headline that he was. To me it sounds clear that you are trying to make it look better than it said to be. That´s a more typic TV-member reaction when it regards a foreigner. I would love to read your comment if they said it was a Thai driver.

You need to improve your reading comprehension.

The word 'drunk' was in quotation marks. Hence it was reported speech. Which means someone said he was drunk.

Unlike you, I prefer to wait for evidence before convicting.

You gotta laugh. Foreigners are often having a go at the Thais for blaming them for this that and the other. Here we have the Thais being the main culprits for letting foreigners see and replicate their actions.
Imagine in court. Why did you do it? I saw the Thais do it, so I wanted to copy them.

Monkey see monkey do

The Thais need to check folks for prior DUI's before allowing them entry, that might help.. 

How would that work with visa exempt or visa on arrival??? "Have you ever been arrested for DUI farang?" "Ah, no officer". "Ok then, entry is granted"!

 

True.  But most guys on visa exempt don't buy a vehicle in Thailand.  Screening the long term stays would prevent a lot of the problem. 

 

But I think there would be a collective shudder of the expat community if they ever decided to stop giving extensions to expats who have DUI's in their past.  A lot of the guys I knew would be out.  Thailand seems to attract a lot of expats who didn't play well back home.

Some of the expats in Thailand love to imitate the locals and love their drink. A lot of those on the forum. Just look at the howls of displeasure when alcohol is banned for a day.

 

They're not imitating the locals.  They're doing what they always did, long before they ever got to Thailand.  Reveling in the fact that they can usually get away with it in LOS, unlike back home.  Right up until the tragedy, where they bump up against the laws of physics, chemistry and biology.  Which aren't subject to backhanders.

Sad how some people jump on the band wagon. First there's a cause THEN there's the facts. Wait for the outcome of both.

THEN JUDGE. Being Thai or Farang don't bring the Dead back

If guilty send him to jail and then ban him from entering Thailand. 2 people died and if he was drunk its an unforgiveable act.

Arick must be the dumbest retard on here to haha your comments. I fully endorse what you said roblokk.

[Bradmeister]

For all we know, He was born in South Thailand, and his parents immigrated from Madagascar.....  he suffered a mild heart attack or fell asleep behind the wheel.

 

Truckers on all highways everywhere in the world kill motorists everyday from medical conditions and fatigue. No one proclaims , it was a non American, or an outsider, or an Asian.... A man or a woman. Period

 

Shame on Thai Visa again for claiming it was a foreigner and not a resident or even a non Thai retiree.  Know before you blow!

 

Stop the racism and promoting the "US and Them," bias..

a lot of expats cant seem to get through a day without getting smashed. What this guy has done is totally unforgivable and I hope he is severely punished for his actions.

Condolences to the families of the deceased. RIP

I have seen this for 26 years now. Stop alcohol implement death penalty! Easy and swift.

there was a Brit who killed a guy in mai Kao last year in a Benz. Another one also in a Benz in Chiang mai or rai a few years back. If you google in Thai you will find over 50 examples of foreigners killing Thais on the road because of speeding, drunk or both.

 

To my knowledge they always buy themselves out of jail. 

Over the same period what are the comparable numbers of drunken Thais killing themselves and others ?

I don't get it - why should Canada be selected as the guide post for laws in Thailand?

Would the reverse be ok?

Why not apply Saudi laws for adultery in Thailand or all over the world?

 

Actually - I don't get most of the stuff that is posted on TVF, this is always like visiting a parallel universe to me.

I saw a photo of a white man uploaded to some facebook group by someone who was there, he had what looked like a minor injury and was sitting at the side of the road - apparently this was the driver. He wasn't Thai.

 

This wasn't on my computer or phone or I would have made a screenshot and saved it for future reference  - someone else handed me their phone with the post, it was fully uncensored, victims bodies and all.

 

There are unsubstantiated rumours circulating about previous incidents.

How quickly death can come.

 

The 2 people on the scooter innocently riding along the road, and then in a split second an oncoming pickup truck simply smashes into them without warning. 

exactly

 

this is a constant thought in my head whenever i leave the house until i return home again, even if not on the roads

 

You're kidding no?

 

I'm always thinking about what's for dinner.
