Edit: I want to be clear,

You don't  have to I doubt anyone will  support the car driver but it's  all  one sided  here when it's the other way  around.

Its only normal to stop after causing an accident

Is that why when we see these  major  accident the drivers  run away then?

Now... The Mob who took the law into their own hands assaulted someone. Will they be charged with assault ?? I think we know the answer. 

we don't know that 

 

sounds to me like he tried to drive away but there was a motorbike stuck to the front of his car, he then got out and legged it and was chased and detained, did he try and fight his way out of it - if it is the same guy I was referring too earlier that is highly likely - was he plastered - that is also highly likely IMO considering the nature of the collision - all just my opinion of course

must have been the motorbikes fault even though it was parked lol

Dear Mr Smedly , perhaps the motorcycle was parked in a unlawful way ?. 

You can not use assumptions freely .

Have you not experienced how Thai citizens park anywhere ??

The foreigner,

 

Case closed.

 

This foreigner needs to PAY money to all the people who beat him.  Pain and suffering from beating him (muscles get tired), mental stress for falang being in Thailand, and this foreigner should be sent to the nearest black hole.  Hold on, was he in Pattaya?  OK, sent to the next closest Black Hole outside of Thailand.  

[chalawaan]

I wonder if "Red Bull will give him wings" so he can skip just like the last guy who pulled this stunt, only with the police bike-rider attached to the fender.

[LennyW]

It seems everybody missed the part where he hit a black pick up first, and then....in trying to get away from that colision he colided with and dragged the motorcycle up the road.

Good clip so it does happen, but obviously not that often for people to go on driving.

Funny when motorbikes  bash my wing mirrors  in Bangkok or scrape down the door they just drive off, maybe I should  pursue and kick the living sheit  out of  them? Few  years  ago a woman on a  bike whilst I was waiting to turn right actually turned onto me breaking the bumper, she drove off too, another  good  kicking opp missed I  guess.

Bash a wing mirror .. you mean your wing mirror fell off ? Of just hit without any problems ? And you compare that to this accident. Wow that is reaching.

It happens sometimes usually when drunk. Alcohol is often in play.

Too bad it does not show the part where the Australian used a manchette to threaten the guy who punched him before. Seems the Australian started it with a knife. Now that is no excuse for punching him when all is said and done. But seems he had a big hand in the problem himself by using a manchette and smashing the Thais window. 

 

In short the guy is trash. The Thai that hit him is trash too but the Australian started it with his knife. 

 

Dam on this forum you see so many people wanting to have weapons this fool shows what it can lead too.

Do you  know  how  much a wing  mirror  costs on a  S  class Mercedes these  days? Yes  off, as in well and truly  broken, they don't  care. Probably as much as the motorbike in the accident.

Most Thai taxi drivers and minibus drivers carry some weapon or other too. Best to be careful out there...

There are plenty of stories in the media where a foreigner is set upon by a group of Thai’s after a perceived slight.

And  plenty that don't  make the news like the guy a  few  weeks  back got threatened with a machete I recall.

It is an old clip....I believe it started when the Australian was trying to make a right turn off Klang and was passed on his right by the Thai guy....

Yes its an old clip but it clearly stated that the Australian drew a MACHETTE that he had on his seat. Nothing about weapons of the Thai guy. It also states clearly that he damaged the window of the Thai guys car with it. 

 

Idiots like that actually deserve a far more severe beating. In my book anyone with a weapon and brandishing it first deserves all the kicking / beating they can get.

Ok broken off then the motorbike should stop. I too hit mirrors at times with my mirror. But that is usually a soft tap and i apologize and go on (assuming nothing has been broken and it never has). So that was why i was questioning you as cars getting a slight tap from the mirror of a bike is quite normal, breaking off not so normal.

Yes i see now, so the Australian got a machette first after a minor car accident. No wonder he got punched. And it was a Brit ????

 

You could have found the details on the clip anyway clearly the foreigners fault here. (not talking about the accident but taking a weapon out first) IMHO foreigners (and Thais) with weapons can be beaten to by others all they want. 

 

Because this is a prime example of what happens when your tooled up. You feel over confident grab a weapon and make things worse.

He should be treated the same as Vorayath, the Red Bull heir that did the same thing, except a person got dragged along with the motorbike and died because of it............just for consistencies sake.

 

What makes you think he won't be treated the same, unless he doesn't have the money? 

[riclag]

If only foreigners  could remember to behave accordingly while being guest's in another country!  The actions of this individual are shocking and well deserving of what some Thai's call Falang khee nok 

[EricTh]

What nationality and race is he? I think there will be some bashing from some members here depending on his nationality.

 

As usual some foreigners think that they have the right as any citizen. Just remember we are all just guests.

A foreigner had an accident with a motorcycle, a mob chased him 800m caught him and kicked the s£!te out of him !!!

 

What the foreigner did is clearly wrong, will any of the Thai who beat him also face assault charges ?

 

Was the foreigner also drunk etc ? how did the accident happen ?

 

 

 

From the article below. I am not defending the Thai's actions, but if the guy was on foot trying to run after he hit the bike while it was parked as ,mentioned, then I would imagine that they have the right to arrest him under what we know as citizens arrest, and in my opinion, if he was fleeing straight after he hit the bike, as we know he did, he knew it was an illegal act, why did he do it, could be he was drunk, unlicensed, stolen car, drunk, outstanding warrants etc etc, and as he resisted when apprehended, then it would only be natural to get what he got, i.e. if he threw one, or two, when your out numbered, and you will get the %hit kicked out of you, obviously, so it's best to give up, I would expect a Thai to get the same treatment if it were a Thai, let's not assume the farang is special.

 

Both of them were not injured from the shocking incident, the motorcyclist stated. She and her daughter screamed for help, which caused local residents to chase after the foreign driver.

[MasterBaker]

so only Red Bull family can do that?

[Deli]

Definitely not capable as Dom Torretto is

[mancub]

From my understanding , crime re-enactments  sometimes have to contend with lynch mobs also, and sometimes are not undertaken for that reason.

Dont know about Thais beating people up but in 27 yrs in BKK and Pattaya i have only ever seen one fight and that was 2 Thais fighting with another one about 14 yrs ago in Sri Racha. 

Seen many accidents but never any trouble.
