PHUKET: Police filed charges against a driving instructor after his reckless driving was caught on camera yesterday.

A viral video on Facebook titled 'Please help. Am I in the wrong?' shows the driver of a Honda Accord attempting to turn right from the left-hand turning lane at the intersection of Chao Fa West and Thep Anusorn Road in Wichit, near the Shell gas station (video here).

The dash-camera video appears to show the instructor, named by police as Tor Por, cutting off the driver, pulling over and threatening him. 

Mr Tor appears to be turning right from the left-turning lane, despite the fact that there were two right turning lanes. The dash-cam driver, named on Facebook as Jeerapong Yanasan, initially did not allow Mr Tor to cut him off.

After both vehicles stop, Mr Tor exits his vehicle and yells at Mr Jeerapong, “Do you know who I am?”

 

I like that.

Shocked, shocked to my core.   About the driving incident ?  No, no... that there are actually people employed as driving instructors in Thailand.  Never would have believed it...

Another case of do you know who i am ?

Good they charged him and i hope the penalty will be very high because they know who he is and he can afford it.

Must have been some miss understanding I'm sure he yelled

The heading clearly states he is a diving instructor. So I wonder what he was doing on the road in the first place.

 

I think the guy is a diving instructor, so there really is no fun at all in the article.

Tor Por  ?!?!

the Hibernator

So finally somebody gets hammered for reckless driving in this country.

It would be more appropriate for him to get busted for reckless diving if warranted me thinks.

Can't wait until tomorrow for new story about

But, shocked or not, now you know those who teach others how to drive cannot drive themselves. Talk about the blind leading the blind.

I wonder what qualifies him to be a "driving instructor"?

His actions would instantly disqualify him in the UK.

Sad I know but true. When my wife passed her test I know had to teach her how to drive, now she is definitely up to European standards

Diving instructor, not driving instructor.

Successfuly driving people bonkers.

 

There are some good drivers here but it still doesn't stop me thinking that a Thai ' driving instructor ' qualifies as an oxymoron.

so who is he?

I like that.

The other guy is lucky that he is not a Hi-So or guess who would be slapped around at the station.

It's Ronnie Pickering's  Thai   twin.

he must be in some strong position to say "do you know who i am?"

I need some new glasses, but I wasn't the only one to make the mistake.

I hope gets the "Benz" next time he dives then....

 

Such quality of people working in the dive industry on Phuket.

 

No wonder so many people die here whilst diving.
