Strangebrew Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Try getting a drivers license in the US you not only take written test, behind the wheel test, vision test, but must also have proof of insurance just to drive and if certain age license only issued for 4 years unless tester feels you may need testing more often. But certain medical conditions you can't drive at all. And still hundreds of thousands are killed each year in driving accidents. Hope the tourist have insurance cause chulalongkorn hospital not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsiaCheese Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'm pretty sure most countries in the world allow you to hold a driver's licenec despite having epilepsy. (Including the countries of all the posters saying "she shouldn't be driving but TIT etc) Thailand doesn't. That is: you won't get a drivers license if you tell them...

Andaman Al Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Sudden epilepsy? Is that a rare form of the disease, that comes from nowhere? Yea, it has a rapid onset after you hit somebody when you are drunk driving. If the driver does not claim it then the expert medically trained on scene policeman will state it at the scene of the accident, thereby keeping maximum revenue streams open when you are 'under questioning' in the police station. It is a disease common in third world countries where given the right class and/or income you can kill with impunity as long as the local law enforcement officers are 'taken care of'.

SABloke Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 So was she breathalyzed on the spot? Seems to me she is pretty remarkable to be able to reverse the car after the crash whilst she was having an epileptic fit. I call BS! Standard response from the police first at the scene to keep maximum money making opportunities open. It looks like she drove perfectly between the 2 green barriers. It's almost as if she was turning right and thought she was in the correct lane OR she had her sudden attack just as she turned the steering wheel 45 degrees to turn right, let go of the wheel due to her fit (miraculously her feet didn't hit the accelerator or brake), drove into the shrine, regained consciousnous and then reversed.

Yes, the chances of that happening all in one go must be pretty slim. Either this was a tragic car accident that has never happenned before at the recently terrorist attacked shrine or .......? Conspiracy therory or not, I think alot of people would like more of an investigation into this incident! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowny77 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Well he condition says it all "chronic epilepsy". How in the world has she been able to keep her driving licence since she has been diagnosed with such a disability. I guess she must be one of the Thai's who got a licence for life which they do not give anymore, otherwise maybe the doctor would have put the condition down on her medical paper which you need to re-new a licence. There was a similar case about 2 or so years ago when a school director driving his car in school ran over his own students because he also supposedly had an epileptic fit. He only got a light slap on the wrist if I remember correctly. Dangerous place here with very dangerous drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reference that says it is a stroke is a family member has put that on their Facebook page. Where is the formal police statement? Six people are injured. Where does it say that the daughter put the car in to reverse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
