PHUKET: -- The island's top cop has ordered an investigation into the reckless driving of an alleged uniformed police officer, who was caught on video driving erratically near the Samkong Underpass construction site on Tuesday.

The video clip, which was posted via Facebook user ‘Kor Phom-chu-night-ni’, shows a vehicle continuously honking its horn while dangerously passing other cars at the notoriously hazardous construction site.

Phuket Provincial Police Commander Teeraphol Thipjaroen was alerted to the video after the Facebook user claimed that the driver was a uniformed officer, while other commenters recognized the vehicle as possibly belonging to Lt Col Pornthep Putluecha, a police officer who allegedly has a history of mental health issues.

I like how they don't talk about him blocking the bike on the right(though, the bike should never have been there, probably an idiot going to do an illegal uturn) and then opening his door to make the bike hit the concrete wall that is making the road less wide about 3-4meters in front of them.

That's pretty much all there is to the video, the erratic driving is from him trying to run away from the bike that didnt end up dead as he intended.

"while other commenters recognized the vehicle as possibly belonging to Lt Col Pornthep Putluecha, a police officer who allegedly has a history of mental health issues."

at least he was sober unlike the rest of the BIB... wonder if he carries a Glock or 45 automatic?

maybe he is in charge of interrogations?

“I have ordered Phuket City Police to investigate the matter and will check with Phang Nga Provincial Police about what needs to be done, as Col Pornthep works in their jurisdiction,” Col Teeraphol said. “If it is necessary, we will request that the officer seeks treatment.”
How about taking his gun away? please.
