skorchio Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 A well known Phuketeer and a buddy of mine ploughed into a powerpole pissed as a fart, managed to reverse off it and get his truck home. His missus took the truck around to another friends house and they stashed it under a cover. The cops were at his door the next morning. He was accused of the accident and leaving the scene which he denied vehemently. Then they produced his number plate which was embedded in the powerpole and said you better come with us!

tragickingdom Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Very good as Drinking in Russia is totally forbiden when driving .... cannot even have a beer nowadays ... so they have to remember that when they travel .... ( no need to do russian bashing , as every nationalities drink ) This forum has to be filled with all kind of nonsensical articles, they are hardly newsworthy. The man gets fined, nobody is hurt, need to pay for the damage and that is it. If Thaivisa believes this is newsworthy we will wait and see the reporting of the other thousand or so daily accidents in which nobody is hurt.
