Tayida Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 A friend of mine suffered an accident on his motorbile by another foreigner who was also on his mbike. Whoever caused the accident was drunk, without a driver license and without a mbike insurance. What are the consequences for him? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) I take it you mean what trouble the guy whose not your friend. For no DL a fine, For no CTPL and road tax a fine, To be proven drunk a fine and a year ban from driving, For not having volutary insurance he will have to pay your friend for any damage to his bike, maybe pay for injuries to your friend if not taken care of already by CTPL cover.

scubascuba3 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hopefully the police will help agree compensation if not consider a lawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KhunLA Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Possibly none, as no mention of charges filed. If filed, not much more than a small fine, suspended driving privileges / licence, that he/she will probably ignore, since not having anyway, and maybe, compensate for damage. A big nothing here, since no hi-so was killed. Edited May 15, 2022 by KhunLA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Not much can be done here as any foreigner who decide to ride a bike in this country should know that his chances to cover costs from anyone be it local of foreigner is slim to none and the police will not show much interest here being farang on farang collusion...

Whoever caused the accident was drunk, without a driver license and without a mbike insurance. What are the consequences for him? - Your friend was involved in an accident. - The other person riding the motorcycle had no licence, no insurance, was drunk. - Was the accident the fault of the other person / Have the police assigned blame ? - Did the Police give the other person a breathalyser test (test that he was drunk) ? - IF so, the Police should charge him. - IF not, its already too late. Not enough info in your opening statement to make an evaluation of what ‘might happen’... But IF the other part was proven to be drunk and at fault the police should force them to pay for your damages and possibly compensation of sorts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see driving anything anywhere in Thailand like participating in a Demolition Derby. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamfalang Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 we need more information....now speculation mode. I'll speculate: crash, drunk, hurt, bike damaged. no police, since both go by the name of falang. result: moral obligation. falang might simply say, "no, no, where camera? i busy i busy bye bye i have no money u very drunk and not me and not no no i forget the language i only speak Thailand" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a very good driver so I ditched my license some years ago and use public transport or taxis to get around. there's not a chance in hell that I'm ever getting behind the wheel of a car or motorcycle here in Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
