I haven't read exactly where the wheel came off - before or after being deflated by bullets.

Try reading post#17.

turned cowboys I thought they were shooting his tire could have caused an accident I wonder if they took that into consideration.

Can they shoot out the tyres on all other Thai road users please.

Wow, I love them.. In America the cops would just shoot the driver and he would be riddled with holes...

Let's wait to see if his fine tops 7.500B..which was imposed on the guy who ran over/killed the 'round the world' cyclist...?

the taxi Fine will need to be higher - to fund the coppas' pistol shoot retraining course - they need it

With the Thai Polices shooting skills, he was extremely lucky not to get killed!!

They were probably aiming for his head, but hit the tires by a mistake.................coffee1.gif

Whats scarier is how much collateral damage was there, and will they admit to it?

Just thinking . . . what if YOU were driving on the other side of this taxi when these expert marksmen opened fire on the cab, missed, then hit YOU in the head?

You REALLY think this was the RIGHT way to handle this situation?!?

After a long court fight you would be given 100'000 baht ( the family that is ). Compensation.
