Popular Post snoop1130 Posted May 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2023 PHOTO via Sanook Thailand‘s former transport minister Tawee Kraikupt – father of controversial politician Pareena Kraikupt – was involved in his fourth car accident in four years yesterday in Ratchaburi province, sparking concerns that the 85 year old should no longer be behind the wheel. He claims he cannot remember the collision. A Mercedes Benz driver reported that he was driving along the middle lane of the three-lane Srisuriyawong Road, near Ratchaburi City Hall, when a white sedan in the left lane suddenly made a right turn and crashed into the rear left side of the Mercedes. The victim was unaware that the driver who hit him was Tawee Kraikupt because the ex-minister failed to stop at the scene and drove off. Tawee later told the police that he was on his way to the air conditioning shop and was unaware of the collision. Tawee’s daughter Pareena Kraikupt, former Palang Pracharath MP, already sought lawyers’ help to confiscate her father’s driving license once before after he crashed his car into a pickup truck in Nakhon Pathom province, central Thailand, last year. Netizens advised her to find him a driver. Pareena said… “I want to ask any great lawyer about what to do in this case to stop my father from driving a car, as the car is not mine and my father refuses to listen to me. He refuses to listen to family members.” “I am worried. This news could be reported but I want to thank the media today for not bullying my father because those who have an old father will understand me.” Full Story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/ex-minister-tawee-kaikupt-involved-in-another-car-crash-unaware-of-collision-2 -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-05-18 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

rwill Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I see him occasionally in the town I live in, Chombueng. If he wants to get something from the local market he just stops his car in the middle of the road and goes shopping. The police here don't do anything to him. Think what you want of Pareena it's nice that she is trying to stop her dad from driving. But even if they did take his license he would most likely be driving anyway. I'm sure he has one of those lifetime licenses that they used to issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He refuses to listen to family members.” As he cannot even remember the accident then I'm sure a court order can ban him from driving... until he's had a full medical check-up and a new driving test. All of which will fail. That should solve the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to either get him a live in driver or remove all vehicles from his access. He is rich old and entitled. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 78 and have had 2 blackouts in 3 months, Both at home. the second in February this tear My wife found me the first time and the postman the second time. My wife was out and my neighbour called an ambulance. I woke up in a hospital having no idea where I was, what time or day it was or even blacking out. The day before my blackout was the last day I drove my pickup, and when I woke up in hospital, was the day I quit driving.
