Wondering if you guys have any experience with this? 

 

This morning on the way to work in Sriracha I spotted a commercial pick-up driving aggressively, beyond the speed limit and veering in and out of lanes. At one point he cut in front of me (I was in the middle lane), in an attempt to force me to yield to him, but when I didn't yield and held my line, he became increasingly aggressive and erratic, driving in an ever threatening manner. 

 

The reason I know he was a white foreigner is because he pulled alongside me and started making obscene gestures, before continuing his aggressive driving. 

 

The vehicle was privately registered but has the company name plastered all over it. A sort of mobile billboard for a marine and diving services company in Laemchabang/Sriracha. I find it quite astonishing that a foreigner with a business in Thailand would drive in this manner in a company vehicle! Took me two minutes to find the website of the company and see the foreigner who was driving it!

 

Needless to say I have the video footage of the incident. What should I do next? Contact the owner of the vehicle to seek an apology? Report the incident to Police? Post the footage on social media? Do nothing?

 

What would you do?

 

Incredibly irritating seeing foreigners driving in this manner, especially when they should know better.

Nothing to do with him being a foreigner - he is just an idiot.

 

Send an email to the Company (unless he is the owner) or grass him up to the Old bill!

 

RAZ

Sometimes it's their only outlet to vent, for both locals and foreigners.    I just let these folks go, natural selection will get them sooner than later.

Before or after they've wiped out an innocent life?

Have you any evidence? If it was a Thai who cut you up would you have bothered posting?

You're obviously having a busy day at work.

 

In situations like this I ask myself…..”Do I want to have a relationship with this person?” As the answer is invariably ‘no’…...I forget about it.

 

 

 

Serious question, what action would you take if it was a Thai driver?

 

Do you really wanna be a grass. ????????

Let him grass, not sure why people from the UK have a problem with it.

 

I mean if the guy behaved normal in traffic it would not be a problem. He brings this upon himself. 

 

I would not contact the company or put it online as it would not bother me enough but if more people grassed then maybe traffic would be safer.

Its just that i see the hatred for grassing a lot with English guys. I don't have a problem with it at all if people do dangerous things. Now grassing on someone that harms nobody is a different thing. 

 

Just trying to understand the anti grassing sentiment. I am just too lazy to upload video's and contact people to affect change. But I don't think grassing as such on individuals that are doing dangerous things in traffic as bad. Im just too lazy.

I think the DDR has dissolved the STASI. Who encouraged people to report their fellows.

 

Did he break any laws?

Where do you draw the line with reporting people ? If they kill someone ? When is it ok for someone to "grass" seems people form certain countries have a problem with it. 

 

I im just too lazy to grass but if i knew of a guy that always went in his car when drunk id grass eventually. Same if i had a video of someone doing driving totally dangerous in a car breaking laws. I don't have a problem informing on people if they are a danger to others. I won't grass if someone smokes a joint or claims heating allowance while living in Thailand. But things that endanger others I would (if it was easy to do)

Mind your own business- don't make trouble- You should have just yielded to him in the first place and then forgotten about it..

Self righteous nutters make perfect rats, touts, grasses and informers...

But that is subjective.

Or when the self righteous sneak gets a knock on the door in the middle of the night and is confronted by a 6 foot Russian diver who was rushing to see his wife in hospital  last week and now wants a word with a creep who reporter him to the authorities..

Just now, VocalNeal said:

Once you report it the police can sort it out based on what they see. Then its no longer subjective. If you video a drunk neighbor getting in their car or a car running a red light. Then the police sort it out.

What is the big problem against helping the police seems some guys rather see criminal behavior go on then helping the police. 

 

Victimless crimes that is an other thing.

As I said a few posts ago it is like the STASI

 

People who are not nosey parkers keep themselves to themselves.

 

There but for the grace of God...

Yes you find this kind of people on the road everywhere.. i get angry of them, but don't do anything. I hope that the Karma will do its work and that is better. If you react things can get worse

Aha your the kind that rather sees your drunk neighbor kill someone because reporting him would be stasi like.  

 

Lets agree to disagree.

You are presuming there will definitely be a death to justify your position of being a police informer. But 99.9% of drink driving does not result  in fatalities.

As a police informer, tout, rat, grass, snitch you pretend to occupy a moral high ground but you don't because you too might transgress and in the view of your neighbours deserve punishment. Behind the veneer of the moral probity of a grass is a deeply flawed  sad individual. 

"Incredibly irritating seeing foreigners driving in this manner, especially when they should know better."

LOL !!!

It would be difficult to deliberately write a statement more redolent of smug, complacent casual racism and self proclaimed superiority combined border line bonkers outrage..

Is it real or trolling?

 

"Incredibly irritating seeing foreigners driving in this manner, especially when they should know better."

Does the OP actually  believe this statement? Or is it a wind up?
