CityNews – A car driver that hit a scooter and tried to escape by driving away, dragging the scooter over 2 kilometres before being stopped by a member of the public, told police that he had no idea he hit a bike when he was arrested last night.

 

Around midnight last night, a black Honda Civic crashed into a motorbike on the outer moat road near the Suan Prung Hospital, throwing the bike driver to the ground.

He must have thought he left the handbrake on,or the car was not

pulling very well and needed a tune up,lucky the motorbike rider was

not dragged the 2 Km too. does not report if the driver was tested for

alchol or drugs,which should be a given in cases like this.

The age of the driver and the cost of the car when put into a Thai context mean that the driver did not pay for it himself. Mummy-Daddy bought/loaned/gave him the car and Mummy-Daddy will buy him out of trouble so there will be no further consequences of his actions. This is the way here.

Agree with your assessment. Further evidence is the fact that the driver was not named. This "courtesy" is not usually afforded to people with unimportant family names.

Doesn't mean anything of the sort.  There is no suggestion that this was a new car, 2nd hand Civics can be cheap and any Thai with a job or guarantor can easily finance a car purchase for next to nothing per month.

The driver was not named because he hadn't been identified at that stage.  What courtesy was he afforded?
