No way should this method of the rich paying to get out of criminal charges continue.....it is a total abomination.

 

I'm rich, I can do (almost) what the hell I like and then throw money at any problems that arise.....if you were trying encapsulate what is wrong with Thailand...it is this.

Just like some other little rich kid... I think everyone knows who I mean.

If 200k each is all the Porsche driver can afford I suggest he sells his Porsche to pay them more !

How has the Porsche got so much damage to the front yet the bonnet looks intact 🤔

That's not how murder works, attempted or not. GBH I reckon. The Porsche driver needs to do time, 3 - 5 years and pay a lot more than 200k.

Looks like the police got paid off. With alot more than 200k most likely

Which is why he can only afford 200K to each of the victims. A pittance. 
Add another few zeros and 5 years in the slammer.

Sorry Mr Suding, but it is still not attempted murder.

The fact that the driver, in his inebriated state, did not see the victim when he was reversing, does not show intent.

Very sad for the two innocent victims.

Definitely needs more than 200 grand.

True… however he may be indicted on:

-drunk driving leading to a motor accident

-wreckless driving/running a red light

-leaving the scene of a crime

and probably other crimes. Kid should do serious time in addition to paying big $$. Sadly that may not happen here in the land of wai’s and brown envelopes.

Despite the serious injuries sustained, the driver’s lawyer recently proposed a settlement of B200,000 for each victim, insisting this was all the driver could afford.

Then I'd suggest going for the prison option.

200,000 baht for each victim? What's a new Porsche cost????

If he was drunk (the Porsche driver) then his insurance would NOT cover him or his vehicle's damage. It should STILL cover the medical costs and damages to the victims.

It's VERY possible that all he had was the compulsory gov't insurance which barely covers anything. I know a lot of people (Thais) that have expensive cars/motorcycles and that is all they have for insurance and then only because they have to pay for it when they do their annual inspection to get their new road tax decal.

I can only get standard "Class 3" insurance for my bike because of it's age (weird Thai rules - the older your vehicle, the less insurance you can get because here, vehicles don't get more valuable when they become "vintage").
The sad part is, if I get into an accident, even if it's clearly the other person's fault, my insurance would likely have to pay THEIR medical and damage costs but I would still have to pay for my own repairs.

Drives me up the wall when I go on trips and see friends drinking like fish (starting literally at 9 in the morning) and then drive off - with their whole family in the vehicle - knowing they have literally no insurance if they get into an accident.
