I'm totally blown away by the fact that anyone... any poster... can watch the CCTV footage, and still say the bike left the scene.... amazing Thailand indeed.

I don't think that this got lost in translation. Are you suggesting that those who're waiting a while and then drive away are not fleeing the scene?

I'm sorry, but I'd have waited and it would also have been my biggest concern how badly the kid was injured. 

Holiday, bars, alcohol, a fast bike, well there are quite a few answers to some questions that might be of interest. 

Many people under the influence of alcohol flee the scene because they know the consequences.

 I feel sorry for the guy because he's the one who's got to live with it.

I had my first big bike 40 years ago and if another vehicle in front of me would stop, I'd at least slow down and check why the vehicle in front came to a stop.

 Nobody wants to do something bad to the guy, he's already in deep shit. 

 

      

 

   

OK, now we have a eye witness who has heard direct from Mr Petri and knows exactly what happened. We know he was drinking, he fled the scene and is the devil incarnate.

 

Oh hang on a minute, that's all speculation, hear say and a beliief in a Thai reporter in Thai translated into English as well as a I am a better rider and it would never have happened if I had been on the bike. As we all know, tuk tuks never slow down or stop for no reason or just pull over to pick up a passenger and if they do, then everybody has to stop.

 

Unbelievable what some people think.

That's what ajarngreg said so he must have a source that we have not seen yet.

 

 

CityLife has an article on this matter.  He is quoted as saying he was cut off and served to go around.   But, basically admits that he was following to close. Also, it appears he may have been working already...yes, all legal I am sure.

AGREED. Its ridiculous.

Now they have removed the video to cover their lies.

Anyways the child is NOT DEAD. The child is doing ok now.

What kind of professor, especially from Canada, leaves the scene of a possibly-deadly crime??????

 

He was likely driving recklessly, and clearly put other lives in danger by his actions.  Then he hits someone....then he leaves....  leaves them like hitting a dog in the road..

 

yea, like none of you jokers ever walked in the streets of Thailand.....being in a tuk tuk can be dangerous as well..

 

i'm not issuing %'s of blame.....meaningless.....but this guy deserves prison.

 

 

Too bad they removed the video so now we can't prove what happened and have nothing but fake words to go on. COOL. Typical. What a shocker.

 

This makes me sick. He didn't flee the scene. Its scary how quickly people jump on the bandwagon of negative lies.

I feel almost worst for him than the parents who walked .. sorry RAN into traffic with their stroller first.
