Absolutely - given his readings, the Op was within the Limits of the Full License...  

 

But, as he had no license at all, it is the lower limit that applied to him, hence he was over.

 

The dumbest aspect of this is actually driving without a license, it is this that ultimately cost him.

 

 

can't very well blame the boys in brown...with the "extra scrutiny" now on foreigners then he should have been more careful.  IMHO  I have been stopped many times over the years for followiing the crowd on turns at stoplights, and at other times just because I was a foreigner and the police told me that I made an illegal turn when I didn't turn at all.  I do speak Thai well enough and eventually the police either said as I told him I was just following the Thai drivers on the turns and he agreed and said don't do it again, they will pay your fine and the other police just gave up trying to convince me that I had made a turn when my travels would have been from a different direction.  I definitely would not want to spend a night or even an hour in any jail here.

You drive while under the influence, abroad, without a valid driver's license and you complain?......toddler

Yes, I read your comment 1st page, you pointed this out. 

I hope others here can learn from your comment and get their drivers licence. 

 

I know a few bar girls in Pattaya, no licence and been arrested for DUI. I'd like to know how many of these bar girls would not have been arrested had they had a full DL 

 

OP, Poor guy, spent time in the cell, had to go to court, it all could have been avoided.

Your wife is not very smart, she could have taken care of it on the spot and you could have drove home. They ALWAYS negotiate.  I'm pretty sure if it was me and my girlfriend, we'd have been delayed for 5-10 mins tops

I wasn’t banned.

maybe you assumed that for jumping on the report button? 
You just gave yourself up there, check my history, I wasnt banned. 
i will take you up on that bet, how much do you want on it?

 

Of course you were't... no matter how many warnings you got....

 

Your comments are a curious blend of tragic and hilarious - like watching a clown slip on a banana peel while reading Nietzsche. I wouldn’t dream of reporting them; you’re far too insignificant for that.

You flicker into existence only when I, against better judgement, choose to peek at the intellectual compost you’ve left behind.

 

When you do get reported, it’s by others who still mistake your drivel for something malicious rather than just pathetically limp trolling.

I find you amusing in the same way one finds a dog barking at its own reflection amusing - sad, pointless.

I suppose that means we can add snitching to your list of personality faults, not surprising since you claim to have “police friends” .

 

Three people on this thread alone have shared their negative views of you, how about pulling your head in a bit? Most loathed member on AN

 

Three people downvote you and suddenly you’re conducting a sociological study - truly, your idiocy is as boundless as it is entertaining. Much like your laughable attempt at a poll on drink driving, it's clear you wouldn’t know how to generate a sensible poll, let alone interpret numbers if they danced naked in front of you.

 

Your relevance died long ago - now you’re just the forum’s resident pest, skittering around dropping half-baked provocations no one takes seriously. Once loathed, now ignored - you're simply overlooked. 

 

We all see the game: bait, provoke, whine, repeat. You’re not fooling anyone. You’re just a tired little troll screeching for attention in a room that’s stopped listening.

Back on topic, would you have helped Hellfire with your supposed police “friends”.

 

Pathetic attempt to troll - par for the course with you. It’s almost endearing how you keep trying, like a moth headbutting a lightbulb.

Nothing worse.

 

Nothing more pathetic than a boasting drunk driver scrambling for moral high ground. You should’ve stayed out of this thread - you’re actions are clearly more repulsive than the OP. Impressive, in the worst possible way.

This highlights the BiB's standards of equal treatment... Whether Thai or Western, he was without a license and over the limits (for his licence status)...   he was quite lucky really.

 

I do suspect the BiB were 'hoping' he'd pay his way out of staying overnight in a cell or at least angling for that.

 

 

All in all - the Op got of lightly - If he hasn't learned a lesson and got his Thai license by now, he's already being dumb... though that will only give him his two years temp license anyway.

 

Also: Can the Ops Wife drive ?...   I hardly ever drive at night, usually I've had at least one beer, the Wife is a good driver & there's no excuse for her not to drive, or I take a taxi - its simple really.

Thats unfair and insulting to say that of his Wife - There is a large proportion of society who, through socio-economic status will always feel subservient to the police who posture, strut, act powerful and in this case make strong threats...       Had the Wife argued, she could have made a relatively harmless situation worse.

 

Additionally, perhaps they didn't want to pay a 20,000 baht bribe not to stay in the cells over night.

 

Unless in that situation, you have no idea how your girlfriend would react if surrounded by Police and being verbally bullied - it would certainly take more than 5-10 mins of your time, unless your GF is a Policewoman or well connected herself.

As far as I know I have never been reported, that you know that I have can only mean that you not only snitch to police. 
What warnings?

Apart from winning the day last month of course.

Many on even this thread are complaining about you, not me. Others have written personal messages to be regarding your rudeness.

You are quite delusional or a simple troll.

You are the troll, everyone knows it. Some threads you are boasting about getting your friends of drink driving charges, the next thread you are getting stuck into a fellow member for doing exactly that.

You would argue in an empty room. Honestly you are not well. Do you ever ask yourself why your life and thoughts are in never ending conflict? 
 

Now pull your head in, I won’t tell you again.

When you are a troll and deny it, then you are something else, equally disagreeable

The last thing I needed that night was an accusation of offering a bribe. And no, they do NOT "always negotiate".

Did she defend you at least against that harrassing police officer who wanted to deport you?

 

Something like "Yes, he's a farang, but he have much bigger penis".

 

I'm making assumptions, obviously, maybe you're Greek. Not that that would be anything to be ashamed of.

Are you suggesting you've never received any warning from the AN team for breaking forum rules ???
