webfact Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath Bo Rai police in Trat, eastern Thailand, were contacted by a member of the public after an accident on a hill on the Nonsri Road. They found a white Toyota with its front severely damaged with a shattered windshield. The force of the impact had caused the steering wheel to come loose outside the vehicle. Under the wheels of the Toyota was a motorcycle and another bike completely burned out was a distance away. Dead in the bushes was one man, 30 meters away another. They were later named as Thanawat, 24, and Khongrit, 25. The driver of the pick-up would not give his name to reporters but the nickname of "Tai" was heard. He is a worker at a fruit factory, reported Thai Rath. Police tested him and found him to be drunk. Witnesses eating outside a house reported hearing a crash and loud explosion before seeing a fire. The bodies were taken away for autopsy and the drunk detained. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-10-19 - 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 worgeordie Posted October 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2022 I don't think the powers that be are taking DUI ,be that alcohol or drugs, seriously enough, under the new points system you have to be caught 3 times DUI ,to accrue enough points to lose your driving license , any one caught DUI should lose their license immediately, on been found guilty and the vehicle crushed ,and serve a prison term ,at the moment there is nothing to really deter DUI. regards worgeordie 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Until sentences for drunk driving - throughout the entire world - are changed to something like 25 years no parole for killing someone when drunk, people will carry on regardless. These days a life is only worth about 4 years in court when killed by a drunk Edited October 19, 2022 by RichardColeman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
