Picture: Daily News

 

Daily News reported on a road rage incident that is doing the rounds of Thai social media.

 

It involved the antics of a Mercedes Benz that cut in front of a delivery pick-up being driven by a couple south along the Asia Highway in Surat Thani.

 

The Benz cut in front of the pick-up and refused to let it pass doing dangerous severe braking moves.

 

After the driver eventually did allow the pick-up to pass they then drew alongside, wound down the window and fired three or four shots into the air.

 

The Benz then sped off. 

 

Darinee, 21, went to the Sawiat police with their dashcam evidence after the incident on September 8th.

 

But the case has gone nowhere in the more than two weeks since.

 

Darinee said she thought that the driver of the other vehicle was a Bangkok woman and called on the police to arrest her.

If I ever had an incident with a road rage driver here and wanted to sort it, I would slip a cop a brown envelope for an address, the rest would be history.

 

We know cops here aren't interested in any here except $'s either from suffocating drug dealers so that they can expand their businesses etc etc, enough said.

The  RTP is too busy with the protests and who can drive a Benz probably has good connections to one of them. So nothing the matter........ friends for friends....and the pick up just unlucky.. next case 

A police officer on her way to work?

 

 

Though, she possibly works at our local immigration office.

I expect they ran a check on the plate and thought it best to leave it alone.

The image in the OP indicates that traffic is 'driving on the right and that the 'Benz is overtaking the camera vehicle........????

It was obviously just a ‘misunderstanding’.... ????

Its a dual carriageway....  (i.e. two lanes in the same direction).

 

 

So the benz driver blocked the pickup from passing. Then finally when the pickup could pass the Benz, the benz pulled level and fired shots. 

I thought that Joe Ferrari was locked up for the time being ......... Well, maybe another weirdo; there are millions of them on Thai roads ????

yep the merc says it all hiso . do you know who my father is !!!!!

Probably British Royal family doing some night hunting for grouse with a pistol. “Oh dash it, missed the bloody blighter.”

Do you know who I am.

I own a 2003 Benz C180 on finance.

Unfortunately in Thailand justice or no justice is only served with the appropriate amount of baht being handed over to the corrupt in uniform.

.

Pit maneuver and keep on trucking....

 

 

Do they not know who she was? oh sorry that could be sarcasm.

Don't all new Mercs come with a pistol to warn off the plebs.

On the left! The overloaded pick-up was blocking the passing lane. My guess is that overloaded pick-up refused to yield and that was the source of the dispute. 

Umm Benz driver again what more to say

Had same happen to me last week. No problem
