Pluak Daeng police in Rayong, eastern Thailand, said they know the identity of a group of men revving up a pick-up and causing black smoke from the tires on the highway.

 

There were many cheers from onlookers outside a concert called "Style Sai Joh" that took place next to a gas station in Soi Suphan.

 

Road users were less amused by the noise, filthy smoke and potential danger.

 

Pol Lt-Col Tossaphol Premkamol told Thai Rath over the phone that they knew the identity of the miscreants and the plate of the pick-up. 

 

They would be caught today or very soon thereafter.

So no rush then... maybe they'll pop-in to the station as you have their identity and save you the trouble of going out to find them.

But burning (plastic) trash in the garden is just normal in the villages...

The black smoke was probably from the trucks exhaust.. … not the tires. See it many times when drivers stepping on the accelerator maybe to be impressive and show speed… but black diesel exhaust fumes pouring out like an old bus from relatively newer trucks .. lowered .. low profile tires 

cool sound system…. Huh engine maintenance for what… 555
