THE PHUKET Land Transport Office suspended a van driver’s driving licence for 90 days after he was filmed by a passenger playing online slot games on his mobile phone while taking them from Patong beach to the downtown and posted it on social media, Thai Rath newspaper said.

 

The 17-second video clip went viral in Phuket with an accompanying message saying, “Stop spinning, passengers urge that a van running from Patong to the downtown be checked, the driver was using his mobile phone to play slots games throughout the journey, we were afraid of an accident occurring and endangering others, almost hit several times.”

 

As the clip continued to be shared netizens posted various comments including “No one is a wizard on the road, if you want to play quit your job and do so”, and “Urge the Land Transport Office to give passengers options to choose on their own.”

I often criticise social media but sometimes just sometimes it can be a good thing...

more of these crazy drivers need to be openly shown for what they are.

I had a driver with a tablet strapped to his sunshade.

Doing about 130 from pattaya to bkk and he is buying line stickers through the shop.

Really important stuff.

 

So I presume you got out?

No, what´s important here, is that it seems like you just accepted that.
