Bangkok dad shows off baby driver on Facebook

[green job]

I come from a farming background in Australia.

I learnt to drive when I was six. Driving trucks and tractors when I was ten.

I also drove on main roads and thru town.

I was helping Dad and my friends were helping their Dads also.

I don't really condone the kid driving throughout the city but there is far worse going on in this country than that.

No comparason, I think many of us did the same as you, But this mixed with traffic and Thai drivers ( that drive like 9 year olds anyway ) with no driving skills is toxic.. How do you think the insurence co would react to this?

Putting a child in danger is the one man who above all others should be protecting him from danger.

Some people not only don't deserve to live, they didn't deserve being born.

Street in thailand are full of such drivers....with hardly knowledge of any control and vehicle.

White mans magic??

[khaowong1]

It's all fun and games until someone pokes an eye out.

[freedom4life]

Just another idiot making his rounds...

[Johnny S]

Amazing Thailand .... World record in idiocy

[RigPig]

Another brain dead parent.

They say: there is one in every crowd. The problem here is - it is the crowd.

and you are the one, and will cop the consequences

[jaywalker]

That kid has had more driver training that 99.999% of the populace.

[Jonmarleesco]

'A father who flaunted his 9-year-old son's driving skill ...' Is it any kind of improvement on Thai driving skills in general, and the old man's in particular.

[bangon04]

A 9 year old is not a "baby."

If a 26-year-old is a "teenager" in Thailand, then a 9-year-old can be a "Baby"

[Shaunduhpostman]

Well why not? 9 year olds drive motocys. Probably safer for the kids that they are driving cars more and more these days.

[MAJIC]

According to Government statistics,most deaths on UK roads happen at 30 mph,so even if this kid is only driving at 20- 25 mph he could be seriously injured!

I don't see the kid wearing a seat beat.

No law against that!!!

[diehard60]

he should have his car(s) and his lisence taken away. he is a big idiot.

[Bkungbank]

When are they going to learn as last time have under age girl killing 9 life. Please don't not thiking road it playing ground for kids to have fun as they are thousand used which have family members waiting for them to go home . In other country child already taking custody but stupid parent.

[Keesters]

The father while showing off, what he considers his very smart/clever, son is doing exactly the opposite for himself. Remove his driving/passenger privileges. Make him walk for a year.

I want to punch this bloke in the face.

Yes. Sadly it seems that with some of the cretinism we see a quick smack in the gob is the most appropriate and satisfying solution. I was driving down Asoke last week and a foodpanda delivery drone mounted the path to avoid the traffic and clipped a woman. Sent her flying as he sped off. Now I suppose remonstrating with him and pointing out the error of his ways is one way forward. As is the Arthur Daley method of " Give 'im a slap Terry"

DISGRACFULL AND STUPID

[AlQaholic]

Sa-tupid comes to mind.....

[technologybytes]

My son is 9, and as soon as his feet can reach the pedals and he can see over the dashboard I will teach him to drive. However I would not allow him to drive on a public road!

The headline of this tread is wrong, a 9 year old is not a baby.

Someone take this guy's "life pass" away pronto. SMDH

[kayjun]

Next time, put a family pig or a buffalo on the wheel. Dumba**s.

[dragonfly94]

Not specifically Thai.

Apart from the fact it involved a crime by a Thai in Thailand. Cretinous behavior, it's dangerous enough letting most Thai wife's drive never mind a 9 years old.

Sure I remind you of the way they park in the Womans only parking lot central Bangkok J

[tom21]

it is normal here for children to ride a motorcycle as soon as they are able so why not a car

He must be very proud...
