Speeding Lamborghini hits 2, knocks out traffic light in Bangkok

[soalbundy]

Wouldn't want THAT repair bill!

Papa wont even notice the bill

A V-10 was never designed for tiny Thai feet in the 1st place.

Thai feet = Asian feet?

I wonder if Prince Bira and Kamui Kobayashi would agree with you?

Prince Bira will be well over most TVF members heads. Got a circuit named after him just outside Pattaya, most people never heard of him

They probably won't have heard of of Prince Bira's Romulus, Remus and Hanuman either.

A largest SOM NAM NA in the world for these two nalak police papa dekvan.

Potentially the new police chief has the opportunity now to show us real change.......

Driver Chatchai Adirekwutthikul, 26, was uninjured. Police said his blood alcohol level did not exceed legal limits. He’ll be charged with damaging public property and reckless driving resulting in injury

i suspect they mean legal limits for rich, well connected people

[transam]

If all the populous cannot ride a m/cycle safe how can anyone drive a Lambo.......?

They can't.....................

[dietergerhard]

Must be a thing with Lambos ... 2 days ago this guy was caught on another car's dashcam wiping out and destroying his car in my home province of BC in Canada.

Idiots with too much money and no sense to go with it.

It not village boy car, driver run away so report of stolen car should be in soon.

[aaacorp]

He was many times in Rocket in sathorn soi 12. alway driving like a crazy in soi 12 and 10... the worst part of this story is the color of the car...

Probably because they were all in the Prince Bira ERA.

Probably should get some tips from the Red Bull heir.

[djjamie]

After reading this I feel like drinking a "Red Bull" for some reason..

[gandalf12]

This is definitely a chance for the police to show they are doing a good job. He should have the book thrown at him and given the maximum sentence the law allows. Should not matter that he obviously comes from a rich family, the law is the law.

PS Who would want an orange Lambo even if they were daft enough to want a Lambo in the first place?

[LuckyLew]

Glad n one was killed by this tosser, no more room at the condo in Singapore

Another high so with no regard for anyone but himself

200 KM in Bkk city ... what an idiot supremo

but will get nailed with a heavy 1000 baht fine

[bonobo]

Bad place for a traffic light to be out. Traffic was pretty bad today. There were several traffic cops in the near vicinity, but none were directing traffic at the intersection.

[Time Traveller]

charoen rat towards sathorn is not a great road for speeding lamborghini's. Even 80km/h runs risk of suspension damage in a regular car, let alone a supercar designed for flat highways. I doubt that this driver would drive at such speed without being drunk.

[Bluespunk]

I understand the outrage when a rich person gets away with things the rest of us would not.

I don't understand the glee and pompous indignation expressed when a rich person commits a crime that would barely make a mention if a regular person were to do the same thing.

I mean, would a story of an accident involving a 5 year old Vios with no plates make the news? Would it draw the same vitriol as this guy does? Is it actually about envy rather than justice?

Just Saying...

Do the drivers of both vehicles face the same consequences for the same crime?

The feeling they do not is behind much of the "vitriol" you observe.

[Strangebrew]

Is the Red Bull heir back in town???

My first thought 5555

[CMCMANGOMAN]

Come on!!! Weren't you fellas ever 26 years old?!?!?!?

[shaggy851]

Yeh im sure ive seen this orange lambo getting around thonglor a bit. He had black on red numberplates tho.. Maybe it was a showroom one they were taking for a hack about? I always feel the young guys behind the wheel of the supercars in my area just borrow them.

[kkup]

Easy come, easy go.

Potentially the new police chief has the opportunity now to show us real change.......

Driver Chatchai Adirekwutthikul, 26, was uninjured. Police said his blood alcohol level did not exceed legal limits. Hell be charged with damaging public property and reckless driving resulting in injury

plus an additional charge of driving a vehicle without licence plates, possibly without insurance as well ?

Maybe while we're at it we might as well check how the vehicle was imported ?

If the car is newly bought and awaiting issue of the first registration the buyer can opt to run it with no plates at all but use of the car is restricted to within the Province of registration and to hours of (I think, 0600 to 1800).

Most new car buyers opt for red trade plates that can be used nationwide but each journey is required to be recorded in the temporary registration book and use is restricted 0600 to 1800.

But tell that to my wife who drove her car for 13 months on red plates and never recorded a trip

and ignored the time limits.

This one is no Prince Bira, just a James Hunt.

Based on the above information then, he was obviously breaking the law regarding driving times on red plates since he was racing around at 2am..

Never knew that. BTW searching a bit here I found this old thread which got renewed December 2011

The horsepower, exclusivity and the value of a car is sometimes deducted from the intelligence account of the driver.

Glad the two men were not killed.

Just go down to the Polo club and you'll see many old/cheap cars of very influential people.

Nothing to do with the cars.

Just wait until those giving the envy/vitriol have an accident and are given the chance to pay to get out of a murder charge - how many would take the full consequences of their action, be it after 1 beer, a lapse of concentration, answering their phone etc.

Just the same as the average Joe giving the policeman a 100 baht instead of going down to the police station and paying 200. Exactly the same - evading the consequences of a crime.

I have friends that go on about the Red Bull and other famous cases but would do exactly the same if they were in that situation.

Only difference is that they wont get the same opportunities when in a similar situation.

You obviously don't know the RTP and how little it is to get off a serious charge.

[mathias67]

I have a thousand Baht that says the driver will never be brought to justice...

Only a thousand you could multiple that 1000 times and have a safe bet. With a car like that it must be the son??? of some high ranking official so it will all be swept under the carpet
