MG was a British car brand. It was owned by the MG Rover Group until 2005. After that, the trademark rights were sold to China. The Chinese brand MG has been around ever since. MG Motor UK Limited, headquartered in Birmingham, has existed since 2006. It has been assembling cars for nine years[1] and, as of 2021, is selling four models produced in China under the MG brand name.

 

MG cars have existed since 1924.

The headquarters may still be in the UK, but the brand is owned by SAIC, making it Chinese. 

Yes, Chinese government owned.  They own 4 major car manufacturers.

From the original article:

 

"Mr. Martin was reportedly confused and refused to give a statement to the press."

 

Also, from the original article you can see Mr, Martin, nicley pressed shirt and trousers, stone-faced sitting calmly in a chair. Of course he wants to play the role of a confused and spooked old-fart. And so do the police want you to think that he is spooked and confused and, hence, the reason why they have not charged him. It is not in the best interests of the police to let the Thai justice system run its natural course while there is still time for money negotaition. There is a reaon why the police put in their report that "Ms. Savitree Seesun, 25, who (at time of accident) was offering food to a monk on the side of the road". They are going to put the screws on him when the negotiations start at the police station. I doubt very much that he will be charged with anything if he can come up with the money.  Before you expat sympathsizers get your hump up, remember it could have been you crossing the street or driving your vehicle while this selfish $%$!! was crashing into you while trying to escape the police.

Perhaps there is a correlation between how many British are residing in Thailand compared to other nations. 

So much more important to behave well and educated then.

No shortage of those either.

Nah, that was wrong. Care to guess again? I mean, no problem. You can only make the same mistake twice. Right, Mr. UK?

Nothing like a bit o' racism!?????

It has nothing to do with racism. It´s stands clear that they overrepresent the problems foreigner cause in Thailand. It´s called truth.

Remember that far more Brits live, and holiday in Thailand than almost any other nationality, they're over-represented.

Parked at the intersection ? Or just happened fall asleep at while waiting for the lights to change ?

 

Could be a DUI hence the attempt to escape.

 

very foolish behavior, glad no one was hurt.

At the very least he needs to lose his licence. 

I'd guess that the woman he hit and who was taken to hospital wouldn't agree that "no one was hurt"!

Nothing more to be said, then.  Have you informed the police investigating this accident of your findings?
