He must have done something awful to their ego.

Like overtaking them, or possibly even flashing his lights or beeping at them if they were in the illegal lane (for bikes) and causing traffic to clog up behind them.

either way, it's just as well he isn't a cripple or a 72 year old woman, as he'd have been in real trouble.

Just teenagers again behaving like they normally do. Bashing old women while they are on the ground. Slashing and killing disabled people with swords and knives, throwing stones at cars to cause injury and suffering. Just normal behaviour for Thai teens. Everyone should just accept it and get on with their lives while protecting their families as best they can.

"a one-year-old baby girl that was also in the vehicle escaped from the crash unhurt" probably very luck if no infant seat, or seat belts

[balo]

Just another crazy day in Thailand.

[sebastion]

I'm not buying the rock story.

Lots of Thais will lie to save face or absolve their responsibility.

Have a look at the video on Stickboy, it clearly shows the guy pick up a rock, walk through traffic and throw it at the car

[whatproblem]

Let's hope the youths are not from wealthy families

The teenagers concerned in the Hua Hin outrage were all over 30. The disabled victim's attackers were policemen's sons so that's all right then.

WOW----- yea,thats a better solution than I had in mind !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jeremy50]

Terrible behavior, though it has to be said, that the car cut right in front of the motorbike nearly causing an accident, then the driver enrages the youths by taunting them. Why anyone would act in such a stupid manner with their family in the car is beyond belief, he put them all at risk, and their lives were nearly lost as a result. When the red mist comes down people will do almost anything. Pretty stupid to do a U turn too, they should have changed plans, and left the area ASAP.

Man charged with stoning car causing injuries



PHUKET: -- Phuket police today charged a man of stoning a car after he turned himself in to the police to acknowledge his crime.

The man, Anucha Imuda, was brought to the police in Phuket by a village headman after a video clip was posted on the social network showing a motorcyclist throwing a large rock at a moving car.

The car lost control and hit a power pole by the roadside, injuring the driver and other passengers in the car.

Anucha admitted to be the person on the clip but said he threw the rock at the car because he was squeezed by the car and almost lost balance.

He chased the car and engaged in a brief argument with the driver.

He said when the driver drove away, he became angry, chasing and throwing a rock at the windshield.

Where does all this aggression and violent behavior come from? Unbelievable, how easy some people snap.

[Guest]

Bangkok post had the translation of his interview, where he said that the car driver gave him death threat.

[steelepulse]

Nice video posted. That car and motorbike close encounter is something I see on a daily basis, why was this one any different? Driver in the white car must have though the guy had a gun and panicked when the rock hit him.

[Scouse Twoccer]

The CCTV may make you change your mind, as would reading the full report.

Even without this, the rock throwing was justified with all the crazyness the mazda had done.

It's a small rock, the fact that he managed to crash like that into a pylon after receiving a small rock onto his car just shows how insane the driver of the car was.

Throwing rocks at moving cars is NEVER justified. Especially when there is a child on board.

He was/is a good shot with that stone!

The car driver taunted him until he threw it.

Don't they snap quickly?

The car driver had driven away and made a u-turn already. He purposefully crossed the road, busy, to throw that rock.

l realise this, l never said that he was right.

However the car driver must bear some of the blame.

He had the chance to just disappear but chose to drive back past the other chap.

Can't get away from the fact that the car driver was "in his face".

Two childish drivers.

When you consider that most people in Thailand have never been disciplined ever but have been allowed to do anything they want from the time they could walk is the action of this moron so unbelievable? They for some strange reason in Thailand believe that because they are Thai then they can do anything they like and it is ok.

Until the parents realize their children have to be disciplined nothing will change

Was this behavior the trigger for Battle Royale? Maybe that should be done in Thailand... hmmmmmm ?

You mean he should no longer drive to where he wanted to go and should just drive somewhere else and hide and hope the guy never finds him?

The guy needed to do a U-turn to go to his destination.

No l mean that he should never have stirred up the bike rider in the first place.

How do you know that the guy needed to do a u-turn?

Got esp have you my argumentative friend?

If he needed to do a u-turn why was on the the shoulder on the left about 100m from the uturn spot that is on his right?

Id say its the oposite, once he got scared he decided to uturn so that the kid couldnt find his house as then he could not hide behind tinted glass.

Just another normal day on Phuket.
