No chase! That´s wonderful. This resourceful woman manage to do it all by herself.

Every day, yet another comical and almost unbelievable incident involving motor vehicles.

Did the Police ever find out or even bother to find out

why she panicked after seeing the checkpoint,

How would they find out why she panicked if she's dead?

Is this just another "The Police must have done something wrong Post" from you ?

Not so sure I can find it comical when a person dies in the process of doing major damage to someone's property.

Yes you are correct I did not read the article properly.

 

A better description would have been ironic, seeing as she died after fleeing a Police checkpoint probably for her own benefit.

Why did she panic ?, did she have something in the car, no license ,

DUI , that's the most important part of the story , it lead to her death,

another poorly reported story.

The police are always at fault...look whose house she crashed into!

"Most" places would still do a blood test, dead or alive.....but again, "TIT", and not most places!!

I share Geordie's abhorrance of RTP.  Every dealing I have had with the Bandits-in-Brown have revealed them to be a  local mafia; lazy; grasping and ineffectual.  Surprised to find a farang speaking up in their defence.

Searching the vehicle for illegal substances. 

Blood analysis for alcohol/drugs.

Yes, I just read another thread and now have this idea of them sitting around playing with their phones in the Station, until they get a call that another old or sick foreigner has died and then they rush round to ransack his apartment!

If I knew they didn't chase, I'd have ignored yesterdays on 2nd road 555.
