Road Rage, Six-Wheel Truck Driver Attacks Songthaew Driver in Violent Confrontation
An incident of road rage unfolded on a Bangkok street when a six-wheel truck driver chased and attacked a songthaew driver, resulting in a heated altercation and injuries. The violent confrontation, partially captured on video and posted online by the page "อยากดังเดี๋ยวจัดให้ ริเทริน์ part 7" (translated as "Want to Be Famous, We'll Make It Happen, Part 7"), has sparked widespread public concern. The video shows the aftermath of the quarrel, with the post urging drivers to remain calm and considerate on the road. The caption read, "Stay cool on the road and show some courtesy. Let the law decide who's at fault." According to Ms. Benjawan, 36, the daughter of Mr. Add, the songthaew driver involved, her father was driving in the right lane when the six-wheel truck attempted to overtake him but failed. Frustrated, the truck driver tailgated aggressively, reportedly colliding with the back of the songthaew. Mr. Add stopped to confront the truck driver, warning him about the dangers of tailgating. This initial argument set the stage for the escalating violence. Later, while Mr. Add was picking up passengers, the truck returned, sideswiped the songthaew, and deliberately rammed it again before speeding off. Both vehicles eventually stopped at a red light, where the confrontation took a dangerous turn. Armed with knives, both drivers faced off. The truck driver retreated to his vehicle when confronted with Mr. Add's larger blade, but not before damaging the songthaew's windshield. The violence didn't end there. When the vehicles stopped again, the truck driver approached Mr. Add, who was sitting inside the songthaew, and slashed him with a knife, causing a wound near his eve. Mr. Add defended himself from within the vehicle and later retaliated by punching one of the truck's tyre. Mr. Add reported the incident to Lak Song Police Station. However, his family claims that investigators attempted to downplay the severity of the attack. They were reportedly encouraged to agree that Mr. Add's injury was caused by the truck tyre bursting, not a knife wound. Furthermore, police suggested treating the case as a mutual altercation rather than pursuing serious charges. Ms. Benjawan expressed frustration over the handling of the case, emphasising her father's role as the victim. She called for justice and urged authorities to investigate thoroughly. The family plans to file additional charges of attempted murder, pending medical reports, and is determined to ensure the assailant faces legal consequences. The incident has sparked outrage online, with netizens calling for stricter enforcement of road safety laws and harsher penalties for aggressive drivers. Many have expressed sympathy for Mr. Add and criticised the police for allegedly mishandling the case. As investigations continue, the family hopes their pursuit of justice will set a precedent, ensuring such violent road rage incidents are addressed with the seriousness they deserve.

Beer Dated Feb 2024: Stored in a hothouse-warehouse...Would you drink it?
Should be ok. Only one way to find out though. Problems come when beer has been refrigerated then gets hot (unopened) and then gets re-refrigerated. -

Where have all the writers gone....? Long time passing....
Dear Fellow Scribes..... Where have all the Far-Eastern-Economic-Review writers gone? Long time passing. Does Anyone remember Far-Eastern WRITING? Just recalling the great FEER, back in the day....gives one a big one...... Those were the days when writing was real.... Those were the days when you got writing with MEAT on the BONE..... And.... Robert Plant should know something about this, too! Best regards, Gamma NOTE4: Back in the day, we once looked forward to reading FEER before it was subsumed and watered down....by another rag, which, in turn, had been watered down...too. Does anybody remember....LAUGHTER????
