Photo: Thawit BilabdullarPHUKET: -- A Russian woman escaped serious injury yesterday morning when she crashed a motorbike into a power pole while not wearing a helmet and under the influence of alcohol.Rescue workers were called to the scene, on Thepkrasattri Road, at about 9am.“Rescue workers administered first aid at the scene before transporting the woman to Wachira Phuket Hospital,” said Lt Col Sanit Nookong of the Thalang Police.When Traffic Police officers arrived, they found a crunched Honda PCX motorbike beside a power pole and Evgeniya Vinnichek, 26, on the ground with injuries to her right knee and leg.“The seat of the motorbike was twisted open by the impact, and under the seat was a bottle of Thai whiskey,” Col Sanit said. “The woman was lucky.”“As no other people were injured and no other property damaged, our officers have yet to decide whether to charge the woman for drunk driving,” Col Sanit said.Source: http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-news/Russian-escapes-serious-injury-drunken-motorbike-crash/29352#ad-image-0-- Phuket Gazette 2014-05-06 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThaidDown Posted May 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2014 From Phuket Gazette site.. UPDATE: As of Tuesday morning, the Gazette has confirmed that Ms Vinnichek was charged with drunk driving. Maybe they were waiting for blood test results before charging with DUI. Having a bottle of whisky under the seat does not automatically make you guilty of drunk driving. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My observations are that we should take the logic we bring from Oz, the UK, or NA and reverse it 180 degrees before making any assumptions about what Thais would do in a lot of situations or how they think. I believe the 'no harm done, so why bother' attitude definitely exists here with the police in many situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about to stop her doing it next time....when she may well injure some innocent ? How many deadly accidents are caused from drunk driving by persistent offenders ? Persistent offenders because your Thai reasoning dictates no effective deterrent or preventative measures are required.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How guilty can you be? I suppose the fine for not wearing a helmet will be waived next.... Because Thai reasoning no harm was done, except to herself. So why bother and charge her. Most might argue with the fact, but that's just one of the things that makes Thailand so unique... Though I still wonder why they want to make us wear these plastic shells on our heads? That they normally refer to as a helmet. After all in most parts of the country, it's 30+ Celsius and the shells are not going to protect anyones head, but again; this is what makes Thailand unique... Therefore defensive driving is key to survival, especially if you're a foreigner. One might wonder why so many accidents are reported on a PCX, as I know of four foreigners just this year who have died on a PCX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
