A French man riding a motorcycle recklessly on the road up to Doi Suthep in Suthep Subdistrict, Chiang Mai, was charged by police, after the event was recorded and posted on social media.

 

On October 19, Chiang Mai tourist police officers, in cooperation with Phuping Ratchaniwet Police Station, tracked down and investigated the incident. They identified the man in the clip as Mr Hugo, a 21-year-old French national. Officials located him at his accommodation in Suthep Subdistrict, Chiang Mai Province, along with the motorcycle and clothing worn on the day of the incident.

 

 

During questioning, the French tourist admitted that on the day of the incident, he drove to the Rincome Hotel intersection and met a group of motorcyclists. They invited each other to ride up Doi Suthep recklessly, intentionally performing the stunts seen in the images to entertain their group of friends.

 

Police officers then charged Hugo with driving without a license and reckless driving without regard for others’ safety.

Hopefully they also charged the place which rented out the motorcycle to him.

What about driving without helmet, he's a farang so they can charge him extra for that.

Headline news what Caucasians are doing. Nows let's hear the crap that thais do to even the sides up.

I'm surprised that 'they' know how to recognise reckless riding! 

[SAFETY FIRST]

Monkey see, monkey do. 

 

These immature guys see the Thai's riding recklessly so they assume it's OK to do the same.

Did the police track down the rest of the "group of friends" involved in "entertaining everyone" and charge them for breaking the law?

No the video clip is only of one white person Thais did nothing wrong. If they had no license and insurance and we're driving recklessly the police will deal with them later after they first charge the foreigner.

So, France doesn't have an Internet connection yet and the only thing kids have to do there is ride motorcycles around like jackasses?

Okay this is some progress, but the question that comes to mind is why wasn't he caught in the act? Why isn't the highway patrol ever doing their job?

Why do they utterly refuse to patrol the highways, and thereby ensure the safety of the public? Why are they so spectacularly useless? 

Why doesn't anybody do anything about it? Everybody knows how bad the situation is on the highway, so you would think the first place you would start would be to ensure that the highway patrol actually patrols the highway. Doesn't that make sense?

 

Oh, I'm so sorry for using common sense and logic again.

Seemed like a good idea at the time...
