Popular Post Mr Meeseeks Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 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. 4 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RAZZELL Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 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 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eff1n2ret Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 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. 2 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hayduke Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 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. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 "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? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
