Hit and run driver 'arrested' by public in Pattaya Beach Road drama

[blackcab]

I'm waiting for the foreign boyfriend's side of this story, hope he is a TV member. Uraiporn probably couldn't park her car because of all the Chinese buses on beachroad.

I actually live on Beach Rd and have never seen Chinese buses at 3am.

See for yourself, just bookmark my webcam, http://fivestarvagabond.com/webcam-beach-rd-pattaya-2/

Your webcam isn't broadcasting. Fortunately I'm in the area so I can see for myself.

[Happy Grumpy]

The citizen saw the farang in the car, and chased it down thinking the driver was a farang too.

[chickenslegs]

Pedestrians, please wait for the green light. Then walk. When it's red, don't walk and wait. It's that easy. No rocket science.

Here's a picture of someone waiting for a green light to cross Beach Road...

[smew]

My take is: he was driving and she was doing something nasty.. He is without a driver license .. So try to run it and later did the switch at McDonald's .. She will take the blame and he will pay her as per an agreed blackmail

[asean]

she swapped seats with her boyfriend. She should be commended

They always do a runner because cowardice is built into them or they are off their nuts on substances.

They flee the scene for a variety of reasons. It's customary.

1. They just don't want to take responsibility.

2. Drunk or drugs.

3. Fear of an angry mob going berzerk and lynching them. (Lots of videos of on youtube)

4. Dont you know who my father is?

These and more are all protected by Thai Law which allows to "Flee" the scene of the accident for 24-hours, after 24-hours when you have not reported to the Police it become HIT & RUN. Gives the drunks time to sober up so there is No DUI in Thailand to assist TAT.

​​There also is no law that if you had to use glasses to pass the driver test for the Thai DL that you must wear glasses when driving a motor vehicle. The other day one of these irresponsible females hit the back of my 3-day old new car. After she hit my car she took her glasses out off her handbag.​ To add insult to injury she was also texting on her iPad, also no law against using Mobile phone when driving in Thailand and if by chance supposedly there is a law, it is not being enforced. This place Thailand surely has sunk and is sinking faster by the day compared with when I first came in Thailand sixty years ago at which time they were such nice people and their children were only to be seen, never to be heard, sure a lot different now with screaming Thai brads like their farang brads in the Shopping Malls.

There is a pedestrian zebra crossing on Beach Road in front of the police station. If Comrade Nicolai was using it to walk across the road, he should have known better. Thai drivers only stop for zebras.

Very , very true thai drives never give way to pedestrians, my thai partner said to me in Australia why do cars stop for pedestrians here I said because if they hit you they get in to big trouble and have to pay you .

[georgemandm]

Thai women and cars don't mix.for some reason here in udon there is 1,000s of small whites cars with blacked out windows including the front screens that you can see have no idea about driving and the Highway Code.every time I see a smashed car it's 99% a white one with black Windows.i even see 2 transporters with 2 on the other day.if I was selling insurance I wouldn't insure them or someone under 50 yrs old with a bmw or Mercedes.

Not totally true. Some Thai women are good drivers. My wife is an excellent driver and even passed the UK Advanced driving test

Very good for her because she had you to help but he said 99% so your wife is in the one % and the rest are the worst I have seen in my life 99% sh?t

[happy chappie]

I know what you are saying.grass n trees rolling on to the beach.not tuk Tuks jet skis curry houses,touts and rubbish.

[Broken Record]

Didn't witness it myself, but a friend of mine reckons he did and it was the Farang that was driving.

Alcohol was probably the reason he sped off, swapped seats with his sober passenger down the road.

Can you show me where it says exactly that in Law.

Thanks.

I do hope she hasn't become a terrible bore over her success like a friend of mine.

Still, driving in Thailand requires something different than advanced driving skills, amulets and blessings are supreme.

[Ace of Pop]

Stupid not to go to the hospital.

Head injury like that can be serious.

Russians often refuse to accept medical help. Even when it's free. I don't know why.

OVERSTAY

[Khon Kaen Dave]

I would guess that the outcome of this is dependent upon how HiSO she is.

[Khon Kaen Dave]

I would not let my wife drive our car for one Million Baht.She had a few lessons when we lived in Pattaya.When we moved here,she wanted to drive the car.Ok,The road we live in is at best 15 feet wide.I reversed the car out of the drive and pointed it in the direction we were going to travel.I moved over and she got in the drivers side.Its an automatic and its only got 2 pedals.I said 'are you sure you are ok doing this?' she looked at me with a demonic eye and just laughed.She then proceeded to drive the car into the wall of the house on the opposite side.It cost me 3000 baht to have the plastic bumper filled and sprayed.The guy at the repair shop said 'not let wife drive car again,or i see you soon'

needless to say, i drive us everywhere now.

[balo]

The Russian refused because he was either broke or on overstay, another happy expat .

[ThailandLOS]

Perhaps concerned about 'Docs' checking.

And just why would he be that? Maybe someone should check you up for your constant russophobic tendencies

onemorechang,

In reply to: No should have stopped the vehicle. your nearly as bad as the driver in my book for that.

both were doing a runner. hope it not you kids next time. get it now

Wow big man, I'm shaking in my boots reading your uneducated and childlike rantings. You are so funny.

So if you were the passenger and lady driving is "fleeing" the scene of the accident, how would you exactly stop her?

Grab the steering wheel? Pull out the ignition key, please do educate me.

Trying to forcibly stop a car when it's fleeing an accident is likely to cause another one. And if you were to do that, it would made you a right A-hole, in fact more of one as you would have deliberately caused the accident with your actions. Where as far as we know the initial accident was just that, an accident.

I stand by what i said,

You would be stopped, by me. before you run anymore people over or someones child.

It was not a personal threat to you,

As for calling me child like and uneducated, well, think its clear who is what here.

Have a nice day in the cave.

I ask again, how would you actually stop a person if they are fleeing an accident without causing or possibly causing another one?

Sound good in principle, but how?

It would not be me as i would not drive away, UNLESS in fear of my life from a lynching.

My cave is very pleasant, thanks.

Sorry mate, ask as much as you like. i wont be going into that, on here.

it would be come to argumentative, i will give you a clue, it would not start with violence.

i do believe that was your assumption, and we all know what assumption is

I would just like to congratulate you, on admitting you would runaway from an accident.

Just for fun

what about if you were sitting next to me in a car, and i run over a small child

and i carried on down the road, what would you do nothing ?

Have a nice day

[HLover]

Her foreign boyfriend was also in the car in the passenger seat

Can we have a photo, of this A-hole, as he did not make his lady stop ( didn't give a dam )

at the accident, pair of shameful pricks.

He was a mute.

I fail to understand your point about it becoming argumentative. If you know a way of stopping a car fleeing from the scene of an accident without possibly causing another one, just say it.

I said i would flee if i was about to be lynched. I would hope to never be in that situation and certainly ride and drive in a way that it should not happen. But this being Thailand i am sure you are aware lynchings after motor accidents do happen. I have seen video clips of and for sure i would choose not to be part of it. Especially in a country where we are deemed guilty before an evidence has been gathered.

What would i do? I really don't know. What would i like to do is of course stop you from driving. BUT referring to point one i would not try and force it by causing another accident.

[HLover]

I would act like I was sleeping and suddenly jolt awake and ask "what was that?"

Then react according to the drivers response.

[mercman24]

a Russian crossing beach road at 3-30 am ok, so that's an accident waiting to happen right away, drinking maybe ?? and the post about Thais stopping at zebra crossings pissed meself laughing, new here are you ?? hope you got good medical insurance,
