A Thai woman took to a Facebook group to issue a warning and seek legal advice after her Bolt motorcycle rider watched porn videos throughout her journey.

 

The 18 year old victim shared her story on the Facebook group คนขับ Bolt drivers Thailand มอเตอร์ไซค์ (เท่านั้น), which translates to Thailand Bolt Motorcycle Riders (Only), yesterday, January 1. She recounted the incident and included two photos showing the rider watching explicit videos while operating the motorcycle. She wrote…

 

“Sorry if this post bothers anyone. I just want to know what I can do. I encountered this at about 4am. He was watching these explicit videos from the beginning of the ride until the entrance to my village. I asked him to stop at the entrance and walked away quickly.

 

He did not leave and kept staring at me. I decided to hide at someone else’s house, fearing he might see where I live. He eventually left. Can I report this to the app or do anything? #NongChok #PleaseShareThisToWarnOthers”

 

The victim later gave an interview with Channel 7, explaining that she booked the ride from Mit Maitri Road to her village in Bangkok’s Nong Chok district.

 

 

She said she boarded the motorcycle as usual and initially did not realise the rider was watching pornographic videos on his phone. She pretended not to notice and remained still.

 

However, the rider increased the phone’s screen brightness and volume, seemingly intending for her to notice. She added that he gave her a perverted smile before finally leaving the scene. Fearing for her safety, she hid at a neighbour’s house for ten minutes until she was certain he had left.

 

During the interview, the victim reported that she raised the issue with the app, although it remains unclear whether the company has responded.

 

The woman was not the first victim of this rider. Other Bolt users in the Facebook group commented on similar incidents, sharing stories of his repeated inappropriate behaviour. Despite multiple complaints, the rider remains at large.

He sounds like he is fairly new on the sex offender learning curve. He will only get worse and his offending become more serious. He is completely unsuitable to be working as a taxi driver. He needs to face consequences now before he starts attacking women physically.

The good thing about Bolt and similar services is the fact that it should be easy to check who the driver was.

Fire him and report him to the police for reckless driving. Maybe other offences, I don't know the laws for this.

Report him to Bolt

Already been reported.

 

I'd be more worried about Mr cloud in the picture. He looks creepy as f.

Just avoid all motorcycle drivers with that typical

"Perverted smile".

I reckon easy to sort out.

That takes it beyond subliminal messaging.  Maybe he was hoping to motivate her for a reach around.  Oh well, better luck next time ... 

so she didn't like him by the sounds of it,   what if it was a handsome guy...

so ... avoid most of the male population then 

Like prostitution I thought porn is illegal in Thailand? Silly me!

I suppose a bit better than taking ya ba to stay awake....

The girl, out and about at 4am, is described as a 'victim'. A pathetic sign of the times.

Well he had a reason to smile. He was watching porn. He got her from A to B without any issues. If he didn’t smile she’d probably have called him rude and why was she watching his phone? Sure he should have turned it off but she could have asked him as well and I’m sure he would’ve been embarrassed and turned it off. If he didn’t then followed her, she should have called and reported him immediately. Unfortunately this is what the world is coming to be like these days.
