Russian Man Fined for Reckless Driving on Koh Samui

A Russian man, Aleksandr Sharygo, was fined 5,000 baht for dangerous driving on Koh Samui, drawing mixed reactions from locals. A Thai woman shared a video in a Facebook group showing Sharygo's reckless driving, which included speeding and parking illegally. Police quickly located his yellow luxury car and fined him for failing to report a colour change and unpaid vehicle tax. Sharygo apologised for his actions, while some netizens praised the police's response, others felt the punishment was too lenient and called for harsher penalties.

 

Far from suitable and zero deterrent.

 

Banned from driving six months and a fine equal to 10% of the 'price as new' of the car.

 

That would make these morons think before risking innocent lives.
