webfact Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Picture: Sanook Footage from outside the Song Pet Phalo restaurant in Wang Hin (we assume Bangkok) on Thursday showed the moment a black vehicle plowed into around ten motorcycle food delivery motorcycles and riders from several different companies. The car drove off. Fortunately no one was badly injured. A subsequent post from the restaurant owner yesterday (Sunday) indicated that the driver had surrendered to the police. They said they had been picking something up in the car and after the collision fled in a panic, reported Sanook. The owner of the restaurant thought there was a good reason that the driver had decided to go to the cops. Their licence plate came off in the multiple collisions. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-03-22 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post toofarnorth Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 Yep , as i said just a couple of days ago , they are out there, day or night drunk or sober , lovely people are the Thais , then they get behind the wheel , no idea what is going on around them. Drop your phone, lunch or cigarette on the floor .....................................If they want to get from point A to point B , quickest way is a straight line. 7 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 If proven drunk, there needs to be jail sentences. There is no other way to send out the message to everyone on Thailand’s roads that DUI is unacceptable. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a day later then the accident. Maybe like you said alcohol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freigeist365 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Oldest trick in the book of Siam - hit, run, have a good night's sleep to sober up, take a shower, have a proper breakfast, then report to your kind police station of choice... As long as this is regarded as trivial offense in Thailand, nothing will change ☠️ Edited March 22, 2021 by Freigeist365 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accident itself involves paper work / documents etc send them to jail involves even more paper work & documents, it won't happen due to lazy authoritiies, thats why things will never change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panic surely resulting from the thought of the dreaded word 'responsibility'. If I just ran over a bunch of motorcycles, I'd be headed away as fast as possible, too. Thai street justice is pretty well known for its ferocity and lack of proportionality to the offense. I'd be off to the nearest cop shop to turn myself in, where the mob can't get at me.
