Georgealbert Posted Saturday at 08:30 PM Posted Saturday at 08:30 PM Picture courtesy of Khaosod. In a dramatic road rage incident that could have ended in tragedy, a police officer from The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau narrowly escaped a collision after a furious truck driver attempted to ram his vehicle along a busy highway. Pol Sub-Lt Supot Kumpee, 55, from the Cyber Crime Division 3, filed a complaint at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station after he was aggressively pursued by a speeding lorry on 5 June. The incident occurred around 12:40 while Supot was travelling from Khon Kaen to Udon Thani to carry out official duties. The altercation reportedly began on Mittraphap Road in the Non Sung Subdistrict, where Supot was driving a government-issued four-door pickup. As traffic was heavy, Supot stated he blocked a large truck that was attempting to overtake, fearing there was not enough room and the truck’s trailer would hit his vehicle and potentially cause a wider collision. The truck driver, enraged by the refusal to give way, then began tailgating Supot at high speed, drawing dangerously close to his rear bumper. As the pursuit reached Ban Chan Intersection, Supot managed to slip through just as the traffic light turned green. He veered left into a side lane, forcing the truck to stop temporarily. But the chase didn’t end there. The lorry resumed its pursuit, following Supot, after he returned to his original route, to the Nong Toom-Nong Yai intersection en route to Nong Bua Lamphu Province. Only after Supot turned off into a residential area in Ban Nong Yai did the truck abandon the chase. Security camera footage from Ban Chan confirms the close pursuit. Investigators have identified the truck as bearing registration number 70-9822 Khon Kaen and belonging to a logistics company based in Ban Pet Subdistrict, Khon Kaen Province. Police are now attempting to contact the company to locate the driver for questioning. If intent to cause harm is established, legal action will follow. Supot, recounting the ordeal, said, “I didn’t allow him to overtake because I feared a collision, not just with me, but potentially with other road users. When he started tailgating and swerving aggressively, I knew I was in danger. I didn’t dare stop and reveal that I was a police officer, as I feared he would ram me on the spot.” “Even as a police officer, I was terrified. My blood pressure went up. He was driving as if he meant to crush me. I’m pressing charges and will see this through.” Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-08 ScreenRecording_06-07-2025 06-28-29_1.mp4 1 3 3
Briggsy Posted Sunday at 02:18 AM Posted Sunday at 02:18 AM My take Aggressive driving by lorry. Escalation by police pick-up. Huge retaliatory escalation by lorry. Police pick-up now wants to de-escalate realising the huge danger but lorry will not comply. 1 1

Popular Post quake Posted Monday at 01:26 AM Popular Post Posted Monday at 01:26 AM Typical of the Thai mindset, of the drivers and riders here. Just acting like little kids in the play ground. But it can have very deadly consequences some times. Grow up Thailand. 2 2 1 1

Then you turn left at speed into a possible head-on collision with oncoming traffic. Methinks maybe you were the instigator. 4 2 1
Popular Post wensiensheng Posted Monday at 02:01 AM Popular Post Posted Monday at 02:01 AM Well, something caused the policeman to take a pretty dangerous evasion maneuver, that’s for sure. Equally certain is that the articulated lorry did try to ram his truck by starting to veer after him, before realizing the cop was actually going to complete the left turn the wrong way up the slip road. The video shows that. What happened before that we don’t know. We have the cops side of the story. But what I see on the video shows cause to charge the truck driver with reckless driving. Whether the cop was justified to complete his dangerous maneuver is subjective. Not sure I want to meet either of them on the road 1 3 3

Popular Post peter zwart Posted Monday at 03:27 AM Popular Post Posted Monday at 03:27 AM I always wonder why people have such a hard time putting things into perspective. A bit of disagreement is no reason to send someone to the hospital or the oven. Don’t take everything so seriously, and allow others to make a "mistake" too. Get over it and enjoy life. 1 1 2
