snoop1130 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 German woman awaits trial in Phuket for jumping red light Eakkapop Thongtub PHUKET:-- A German woman is currently being held at Phuket Provincial Court where she is awaiting trial after being stopped by police when she jumped a red light in Chalong and then proceeded to throw a hissy fit at the officers who stopped her. At 9:55am today (Mar 28), Chalong Police were informed that a car heading towards Chalong had jumped a red light at the junction for Sun Palm Village on Choa Fa East Rd. After learning of the incident, Lt Thanakrit Eiamchonlakam of the Chalong Police together with four other officers promptly went to Chalong Circle and waited for the subject vehicle. After a short while the vehicle arrived and was stopped by the officers. Lt Thanakrit said, “The vehicle was a black Bangkok-registered BMW X1 and the driver was a German woman named Sandra Christiane Grunewald, 55. She was speaking on the telephone when we stopped her. “We asked Ms Grunewald to step out of the vehicle but she wouldn’t and continued to talk on the phone,” he said.

daveAustin Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We all know it is wrong to jump the lights (), but what she shouldn't have done is get lippy, because she would've walked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This arrogant person got what she deserves. Behave and keep your manners, pay 1000 or so and continue.

TommyUK1960 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Jumping red light is so common in Thailand. This German woman was also on the phone. So showing no respect to Policeman she should get a good slap from the courts. She wouldn't do this in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me that is just as bad if not worse than going through the red light, why is she not being charged for multiple offences Edited March 28, 2017 by smedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksidedog Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thais jump the red lights all the time with impunity and I have never heard of one being taken to court for it. The real crime here was not wai'ing the police, so another wonderful news story for TAT to have to deal with and somehow twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1Str8 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 She threw the keys away so the cops had to go get it and emptied her bag so they had to collect that too. Then she was arrested and laughed at. Good job. I was in a bad mood before reading this article but these low life clowns always make my day.

NamKangMan Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) A farang in a BMW on Phuket is a perfect target for extracting money. Sounds like she refused to be extorted, so the situation escalated, thus, now becoming a lesson to all farang on Phuket - pay us with your money, or pay us with your freedom.

They're the answer in Pattaya, whilst Phuket continues with its transport mafia. Of course, baht buses would never work on Phuket, would they, Psimbo?
