Bangkok Barry Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The driver was reportedly confused about the flow of traffic in Pattaya and not familiar with the area, causing him to crash into the road barriers at high speed. Not a good combination. It could cause an accident. I know that, you know that but the driver didn't know that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Considering the damage to the car, they should all be very thankful. Perhaps it might be appropriate after an accident like this, to test the driving skills of the driver? Does he have any? Was he half blind from booze? Typically, when I see road barriers on a highway, the first thing I do is slow down, to have a better look. What did he do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Lucky the SUV was packed no room to be toss around to do more damage but a generalization a bunch of kids out for dinner? No drinking hard for me to believe with so many no one says a word or checks the driver the reason for the accident is on the list like brake failure but of course this is Thailand and being said nothing noted by police about blood test for driver no one hurt but themselves therefore Case close no charges happy they didn't hurt incident bystanders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're very similar to the Fortuner driver. You went a long way very quickly, with only one full stop at the end. ???? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 'Pattaya Police have declined to place any legal charges in terms of the accident'. Nothing in it for them except lots of paperwork none of it brown. Will a Thai Insurance company pay out if the driver exceeds the legal number of passengers?

There are 2 possibilities, slow down, or speeding up, he make choice for the Thai version. Edited April 22, 2022 by Tubulat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From other articles I have read recently, drug and and alcohol tests are mandatory following accidents and I'm sure the circumstances of the one would surely pique the interest of the police. Charging does not have to take place immediately. Just as in any other country, gather the evidence first. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly connected, and since no one was seriously hurt... I wonder who will pay for the replacement of the barrier though. It is nice that kids are allowed to get away with so much in Thailand, kind of. Certainly less chance of a youthful infraction ruining a whole life. I wonder how many average people get away with serous crimes but are part of the group calling for more accountability for the government, though. As with complaints about corruption, there seems to be a little hypocrisy at play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, do you think that the article states that they were not drunk or on drugs? I've read it several times and cannot see anything claiming that. Can you quote the section that you think means that? Maybe we can help you understand it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
