The driver of a white Tesla admitted to reckless driving on a motorway, following a heated argument with his girlfriend, which led to his hospitalisation due to stress. He has accepted responsibility for his actions and vows not to repeat them.

 

Reports emerged on social media yesterday, November 18, of a white Tesla weaving dangerously through traffic on a motorway, eliciting fear among fellow motorists. The car, initially in the left lane, attempted a sudden manoeuvre to the right but was blocked by another vehicle. This resulted in a series of abrupt braking and erratic movements, including reversing and stopping for an extended period.

 

Later, the car’s owner, a lawyer, presented the vehicle to the police for inspection. Meanwhile, the driver, identified as Pitiphat, appeared before investigators at the Traffic Control Centre to face charges of driving without regard for the safety or convenience of others. The vehicle was seized as evidence in the case.

 

In a conversation with reporters, Pitiphat expressed deep remorse, stating that the incident, which arose from a dispute with his girlfriend who was in the car, led to impulsive behaviour. The other driver honked at him, which further agitated him, prompting him to drive aggressively as seen in the viral video. He clarified that he bore no animosity towards the other driver involved in the incident.

 

Pitiphat further explained that the white Tesla he was driving did not belong to him. It was owned by a business associate involved in the used car trade, from whom he had borrowed it.

 

 

Following the incident, he avoided watching the full video online due to shame and acknowledged the negative impact on his business and reputation. He recognised that he should not have acted in such a manner and vowed not to repeat it.

 

The driver added that he has cooperated with the police and accepted all charges against him, recognising the need for accountability. He admitted that he had never engaged in such reckless driving before.

 

“I have been so stressed that I couldn’t eat or sleep. People have been calling me to insult me, which led to my hospitalisation. I accept that I should have been more mindful and I want to apologise to everyone involved, including the other driver.”

 

He disclosed that the vehicle’s owner was displeased upon learning of the incident and chastised him for his actions. The driver has since turned himself into the police, with charges filed and a court hearing expected, reported KhaoSod.

Good of him to 'man up' on this one.

Hope she's smart enough to be his ex now.

Pitipaht? More like Pitiful. Another example of the male emotional fragile mind here. Sad.
