INN reported on the arrest of three young men including two youths for racing on the public roads. 

 

Tittipong, 23, thought it was a good idea to post their escapades on Sukhumvit Road in Pattaya on June 26th on Tik Tok. 

 

He was subsequently arrested along with A and B, the youths. 

 

They were all pictured pointing at their bikes that were seized by the police, lest there be any doubt.

 

A one month jail term was handed down to Tittipong suspended for a year. He was fined 6,100 baht after being charged with eight offences. This was halved to 3,050 baht on admission.

 

The youths were referred to the youth and family court and their parents are also being prosecuted for not looking after them properly. 

 

The deputy commander of the RTP Damrongsak Kittipraphat who heads a taskforce to rid Thai roads of the street racing menace told people not to do it and parents to look after their youngsters. 

 

He also reminded that information from the public that results in a successful prosecution can get you a 3,000 baht reward.

Wow, racing bikes?

Is any of those bikes faster than 120km/h - going down on a mountain road?

 

Will anybody who drove as fast as those boys be jailed? Or only poor boys?

Sounds too good to be true.......

But I hear more likely contenders on Suk or Hwy 36 most days.

Fair play, they don't reach puberty until 30.

Crushed permanently.

Not for 300 k I would snitch for them.

[Peterphuket]

In the area where i live it happens now everytime at midnight, with a big noise, it wakes you up, very difficult to notice who they are.

And i think the police sleep so too.

I would do it for free, seven days a week. If you've ever had to live with this stuff daily you would too.

[Denim]

Should have been fined another 10,000 baht each for half assed pointing. A disgrace to Thai pointers everywhere.

Does the same apply to dog owners?  Causing accidents; excessive noise at nights; injuring children; spreading litter and disease?
