A singer on his way to a concert tour organised by GMM Grammy was left shaken after becoming the target of a violent road rage incident in Pathum Thani.

 

The artist, who was being transported by a motorcycle taxi rider, was travelling to Zeer Rangsit shopping mall when the incident unfolded near a U-turn beneath the Kaew Bridge in Thanyaburi district.

 

 

According to police reports from Pratunam Chulalongkorn Police Station, the rider, identified as 28-year-old Mr Ariya, was riding in the left lane when a white Isuzu pickup truck suddenly veered into his path without signalling. The pickup struck his leg, causing minor injuries.

 

Mr Ariya recounted that after the collision, he shouted at the driver to question the reckless manoeuvre. A woman in the pickup reportedly apologised from the passenger seat. However, the situation escalated when the driver exited the vehicle armed with a box cutter and began verbally abusing the rider, allegedly threatening to stab him and the passenger, the singer.

 

 

The drama intensified when a bystander began filming the confrontation. Enraged, the driver returned to his vehicle and appeared to attempt to ram both the rider and the witness before exiting the vehicle again, this time wielding a pointed knife. He then chased both the rider and the good Samaritan with the weapon.

 

The singer, identified only as “Tee,” later told reporters he feared for his life. “I just called a rider to take me to the concert venue. I didn’t expect anything like this. I have a career in entertainment under the GMM Grammy label and was about to go on tour. I was terrified I wouldn’t make it to perform.”

 

Police Colonel Parinya Thongma, superintendent of Pratunam Chulalongkorn Police Station, stated that officers had identified the driver and were attempting to bring him in for questioning. So far, the man had failed to present himself but indicated he would cooperate at a later time.

You really have to be extremely careful on the roads in Thailand.  Even if you are the victim of something, the perp might end up attacking you if you complain.

Yesterday, I watched through my rear-view mirror as a new Toyota Alphard weaved recklessly through traffic, making sudden, aggressive moves - right up to my rear bumper - while we were travelling at 100–120 km/h.

 

The driver undertook me, then sharply cut in front, forcing me to brake. I observed the same erratic behaviour repeated: overtaking, swerving in, cutting off other vehicles.

 

By the time the van was 100 metres ahead, it had boxed in a car and was deliberately impeding it. I can only assume the other driver had used their horn - apparently enough to provoke the aggressive hostile reaction.

 

There are truly some unhinged individuals on the road - This behavior is not isolated, I've seen it a few times first hand and also on plenty of videos which often make the news.

The ayhole needs to be dealt with before he kills someone.

 

The issue here is that he didn't actually 'do anything' so the Police will handle the issue lightly...  realistically, this mental case needs to be locked up before he kills someone...

 

Sadly, he'll be free to drive around and continue this mental behavior until he does cross a line and it will cost someone a severe injury or their life.

It's not everyone, but it is very common, yes.  Definitely the speeding, weaving, cutting in and suddenly breaking, then doing it again and again, just to get a couple of cars ahead.  You see it on pretty much every journey.

If this guy is from Thai band Only Monday, he's pretty popular now so this will get lots of media attention.

 

Great band :
