gdgbb Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 There is either something very wrong with this story, something very wrong with her Vios or something very wrong with Toyota's Vios in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 How many serious accidents where Thai drivers face no consequences because their excuse is the brakes failed? A foreigner has a serious accident, with no injuries to innocent parties, and they are charged with reckless driving. So corrupt here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 A charge of reckless driving may be in order here, if all were a normal playing field. Every day we saw endless minibus, pick up crashes, and the driver often doing a runner, with no report on it ever again. I would not question the charge, if I saw it levelled on every accident across the country. But to single out a foreigner, maybe to suggest we are bad drivers, on a crash with no injuries seems harsh. Given its context in the bigger picture anyway.

Briggsy Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 “Ms Kateryna will be fined between B400-B1,000 or jailed for no more than one month or both,” Capt Sawanya added. The deterrent factor. 1000 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
