sead Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 If someone killed any of my family member by DUI there could only be one way to settle this in Thailand. Pay someone 10.000 USD and put him in the trunket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chongalulu Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 5 hours ago, Mikeyfromoz said: Yep, if they make the choice to drive while drunk, then they chose ALL of the possible consequences associated with driving while drunk, so killing someone while deliberately choosing to drive while drunk is effectively murder...!!! Murder has to involve a direct intention to kill ,not just risk the possibility ,so no it can’t be murder,but certainly manslaughter and at the higher end given choosing to drink then drive is a known risk. In U.K. causing death by dangerous driving attracts a 14 year sentence so effectively close to the penalty for murder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussienam Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 The driver hopefully will be appropriately prosecuted and sentenced with DUI, culpable driving causing death and GBH or similar. I hope the deceased's family and surviving victim are sufficiently compensated as well (doubt it). Driving drunk is culturally condoned in Thailand, albeit illegal. The flow-on effect of this even affects foreigners holidaying and living here. I see plenty of bars and clubs around Pattaya with cars and motorbikes lined up outside. We can easily fall into a trap of having convenient transport by bringing our own transport and running the gauntlet home until something terrible happens. Australia where I am from and other countries went through this decades ago until culture changed. Thailand really needs to work hard on changing that. Adding a layer of complexity now is trying to change a culture of drink driving during legalization of cannabis, that also causes impaired driving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backed by insurance they had no financial concerns about the civil claims but every one of them was deeply remorseful and psychologically scarred by what they had done even though this would not have and did not make any difference to the amount of damage awarded to the victims. Killing someone through you own stupidity or just a lapse in care is deeply psychologically scarring for most perps, Not saying all, there will always be exceptions. The sociopaths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogNo1 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 My grandfather was a GP doctor and surgeon in a small Pennsylvania town. One day, while rushing to the hospital, he hit and killed a woman pedestrian. His license was suspended for life but he was allowed to keep practicing medicine. He had to hire a permanent chauffeur to drive him around for the rest of his life. In his private practice, he treated a lot of farmers and laborers for free or for a very low fee so I think that he paid his debt to society in this way. He also donated a wing to the town hospital. He didn't have much money when he died. For this football player, I think that a judge should create an appropriate sentence that would included a life-long ban on driving. That would impose a life-long tax on his income. A long-term requirement for doing public service would also be appropriate. His life doesn't need to be destroyed but he should pay appropriate penalties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
