Another innocent power pole knocked down by a drunk . Too many drunks driving , lock him up and don't let him out 'til the pole has been paid for.

'While being bewildered, the man confessed to the rescuers that he had previously drunk alcohol at a party in Pattaya and was heading home. He admitted that he could not control his car and rammed into a power pole."

 

What's happening ... a Thai driver admitting guilt , not brake failure, slippery or dark road, or fell asleep .....

I guess the electric guys have to ask for a raise soon.

Some poor kid on a bike could well have been killed had the power pole not saved him.

Another triumph for Pattaya Plod; moving the pole saves setting up road blocks.

No.  He pays for the pole and still gets locked up.

 

That's why the carnage is allowed to continue here.  Too many paying their way out.
