Popular Post webfact Posted June 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2022 Pol Capt Weerapong Aphaiwong of the Bang Plee police in Samut Prakan was called for back-up after an off duty airport police patrolman had trouble with a drunk taxi driver. Pol Lance corporal Pongphan Phonchai told how he had seen a yellow and green taxi emerge from a soi as he was going home from duty at the airport. The taxi was weaving all over the place on the Thepparit Road so he ordered it to stop. But it drove on before Pongphan caught up with it at a bus stop outside the Huachiew Chalermprakiet University. There the driver - 39 year old Charoensak Bunchuay - tried to assault the officer and went into his motorcycle knocking it over in an attempt to flee. All this was caught on the officer's vehicle cam. Pongphan called for backup. Charoensak was clearly very drunk and his eyes were all glazed indicating that he had been smoking marijuana, reported Thai Rath. Inside the cab on a seat and in the driver's side pocket were found bottles of the Korean rice spirit Soju. Also in the side pocket was a bong. Picture: Thai Rath Charoensak was still belligerent and resisiting, daring the officers to test him for alcohol. They did and the reading was 184 mg - well over the legal limit. His parting shot before he was taken away was to call out to female traders in the area that he was being persecuted. Media 77kaoded also reported on the incident with a 4-5 minute video showing various parts of the story including the driver declaring: "I'm not drunk". -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-06-29 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post Mr Meeseeks Posted June 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2022 One of many out there but there's an easy fix. Permanently remove his taxi license, suspend driving license for one year minimum, 6-months jail, out early for good behaviour. For info: What does a blood alcohol level of 150 mean? Severe impairment of driving skills. 0.15–0.2% (150–200 mg/dL) This is the blood alcohol level where a person appears drunk and may have severe visual impairment. 0.2–0.3% (200–300 mg/dL) Vomiting, incontinence, symptoms of alcohol intoxication. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more fake news to bring legalization into dispute, like Chardchat's pathetic lies about the overdose death and underage overdoses.
