Mr. Jack is not an unusual driver. What is unusual is that there is media coverage and that he was stopped. As others have noted, poor driving is common on koh Samui.

If he was at home, he most likely would be unable to rent a jeep. Most rental agencies have restrictions or surcharges that make it difficult to rent a vehicle when the renter under the age of 25. Typically, the rentals are restricted to the small low power vehicles, like sub compacts or basic compacts. In Thailand, if you wave some cash, that's all that matters.
