Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2022 Public prosecutors have decided to indict on nine charges a police officer who fatally injured an eye doctor in an accident with his large motorcycle at a zebra crossing in Bangkok’s Phaya Thai district in late January. Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) Spokesman Itthiporn Kaewthip told the media today (Tuesday) that the prosecutors in charge of the case agreed with the Phaya Thai police over the nine charges against Pol.L/Cpl. Norawit Buadok, a crowd control police officer. The charges are reckless driving causing death to another person, using a vehicle which does not display a license plate, failing to drive a vehicle close to the left curb of the traffic lane, failing to stop at a zebra crossing, using a vehicle which is not insured and for which the annual road tax has not been paid and exceeding the speed limit.

They will make an example of this guy. An attractive police Dr. from a well-off family killed by what appears to be a poorer police officer breaking multiple laws in broad daylight. He is going away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post robblok Posted February 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hmmm strange how they did not mention he was police in the title but went for big bike rider. Maybe some pressure from the police to stop mentioning it. Everyone knows this case as the policeman who mowed down the doctor but they want to go for big bike in the title. Bit strange but still happy they are going aftger him. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in principle with what you are saying but to say they will maybe stretching things, however I do agree it is the perfect moment to send out a very strong message to all motorists that crossings should be respected and if they are not the consequences will be severe .......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come this young cop never learned (from his police training) about the rules of the road and at least the basics of respect for other people? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's still the open question of how many people will even be aware of this incident? - Thai people don't read newspapers (some used to) and printed newspapers are now not that readily available. - Most Thai people don't watch mainstream TV news services. - Thai people who listen to the radio get very little news content. - News on facebook etc., is very sparse and most Thais skim past it. In other words there's an enormous gap in knowledge and understanding of laws and of such incidents. Surely there's an answer; perhaps it should be compulsory for kids to attend 30 minute talks (at school, every 30 or 60 days) by experienced cops who are good at getting kids to pay attention. Or similar. Recently I was in Australia. An old friend who is now in a snr federal education ministry position shared that there's discussion about including the above into compulsory education for all of primary, secondary education and in bachelor degree studies. It would include knowledge of law and how the judicial system works at basic and then later at an advanced level. Plus elementary then advanced knowledge of building and maintaining a civil society. Plus (partly because of recent events/failures by federal and state governments) the rights of women, the laws about sexual consent, and more...

What you are advocating is quite correct but as you have pointed out, Thai's need to learn to walk before running. Maybe children in Australia listen to the teacher but here plus listening to some expert would more likely frighten them rather than make them learn.

I am not holding my breath but let’s see what happens. However, I fear this rookie is going to be used as a scapegoat for all those, meaning most in the RTP, who flout the law they are supposed to protect. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they will do it for that reason, but rather so they can say "look, we aren't corrupt and don't look after our own, we follow the law".... they will then promptly let Joe Ferrari and other senior police off their charges with a slap on the wrist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyland Mike Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The only thing that’s going to prevent this is construction of sizable speed bumps 3-5 meters prior to heavily-used zebra crossings and extended through adjacent sidewalks. And sized so that if disregarded, Somchai does a Superman 30 feet over his handlebars or causes serious damage and costly repairs to cars’ front tires/wheels and/or shocks and knocks the fillings out of drivers teeth. Education and enforcement of rules? In Thailand? Really? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a Dr. at the Bangkok Police Hospital. And while attractiveness shouldn't have an impact on anything, it's more likely to have an affect on everything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that "open question" is just a question in your mind. I doubt that there is "an enormous gap of knowledge regarding this accident with Thais.

You're entitled to your opinion of course but I disagree; I ask people about news items; - My outer family - Neighbours - Occasional chatting with Thai folks in the supermarket, markets - Drivers - My uni students I can assure you, 90+% of these discussions reveal the points in my initial post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a big bike rider I wonder if a car or truck or bus was up his butt at the crossing and he could not stop which happens to me often. This would not happen in a overhead crossing, spend the extra money as not many drivers do not respect the zebra crossing.
