Like ricocheting bullets aren't dangerous.

No, I didn't believe his story either.

Living here does that to you.

Worse than the Wild West !

....it's always 'someone else'........

So why did he flee ?

"For the record, Police did not believe his story."

Glad they got it 'on the record'.

The police have watched too many cowboy movies. Too much traffic, but they shoot the tires out! Wonder what Darwin would say about this.

So why did he flee ?

So why didn't you read the story? All would have been revealed.

In Chiang Mai, once helmetless MC drivers see a road block, they turn around and flee in droves. See this on the Narrawat Bridge in CM all the time. Never seen the cop give chase though. Too busy skinning the prey they already caught.

Good call by the Police.

Shoot out tyres stop high speed chase.

And not believing this cock-n-bull story.

"The roads were busy" ........an ideal place for a shootout.

There are enough accidents on the roads without the police chasing people.
