Intelligence awards! Reminder to driver: Your car has a number plate, that works to tell who the owner of the car is. If not the owner was driving, he/she will know who was. You can run, but you cannot hide.

Exactly, what would they expect him to do. Flee might not fit what happened, he exited, paddled out of the pond, looked about confused, got his bearings and set off home!

It's the roads with curves that defeat Thai drivers. If the Romans had come this far there would be no problem.

The driver was more concerned if he was found to be under the influence of Alcohol when driving and losing his licence if he had one ????

Doesn't matter. He abandoned the vehicle, finders keepers. Lucky day for someone.

Was a "Pol Lt Col" first on the scene.

Or was he the 1st on the scene to have his photo taken by the media ?

The male driver was not injured, swam out of the pond, and for unknown reasons immediately fled on foot said Suphan.

Once he sobers up and he has had time to pick an excuse he will be back groveling to the RTP in order to pick up his vehicle.
