z42 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 How could he not admit to it. Anyone with functioning eyes could see he was going like a bat out of hell and far beyond the speed limit. The cops are right on with the charges in this case. The other driver who died made a real meal of the u turn and paid the ultimate price for his ineptitude behind the wheel. Still i feel this shouldn't stop the courts throwing the book at the comedian's lad as his reckless speed / inattention made it a fatal collision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shady86 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 RIP but poor judgment from the deceased. I guess he couldn't have seen the car coming at a high speed due to night time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philthyphil Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The Thai authorities can not expect the "people" to drive within the speed limit if they don't practice it themselves. Many times I have seen a convoy of buses hogging and speeding on the overtaking lane with a cop car leading them. The buses do at least 140kms per hour. Other times I have seen similar things, but with Mercs instead of buses. They were going faster than the buses. About 180+ I guesstimate. Very dangerous, a convoy of speeding buses.

Prbkk Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The driver of the other car made a tragic hash of the U-Turn, but no doubt he didn't anticipate this lunatic barreling down the freeway at take-off speed. Those who live to drive another day invariably factor in to any driving decision the very strong likelihood that just such a lunatic can appear anywhere, any time.

The above photo op, deep Wai, a pittance of blood money, and a stint in the Wat will make this go away like all of the others. Sad to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moe666 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 here we go again, another high profile accident resulting in death. when will you guys realize and accept the fact they do things different in Thailand. If the family of the deceased is happy with a pay out why should anyone else care or make a commit on something you have no understanding of.

RetroGTAndrew Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) I continually see people making a complete hash of a simple 'U' turn, they seem incapable approaching a little wide, getting full lock on in a timely manner and getting out the other side without using all three lanes! I'm not defending speeding, but the Beemer didn't have much chance to avoid the other guy who just blundered out without a care in the world. I drive verrrry defensively and circumspect when in Thailand (in a shopping trolley,Toyota Yaris) Edited March 24, 2017 by RetroGTAndrew Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalblue Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 "admits to speeding" At the least he admits he was in the wrong. SLOW DOWN EVERYONE. You will save lives if you start caring about your driving behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
