Maybe the press wants to stay alive and safe.

I THINK the headline is intended to mean ' Thailand needs better cover for rich kids who kill people and suffer zero consequences'

Thailand doesn't actually care what the rest of the world thinks of them, they can do no wrong in their own eyes.

Who's fault is this? The government /Law,The rich bastards are getting away with Murder, Yes Murder of their fellow countryman/women because  money can buy anything even killing /murdering people. ): Nothing absolutely Nothing is getting done about it by the Government/law.

Because Elites still run the country within the Govt whether civilian or military rule. Strong class society still in place and supported by country's leaders. Why would the hi-so billionaires give up their privileged positions supported by corruption.

What does everyone expect? For countless years here, money has talked and the defendants have walked.

This is simply more of an ongoing process, that is unlikely to change soon. TIT.

[Rhys]

....thus we have it reported and documented, HISO can kill, and do....and pretty much left alone... so many examples..

 

Honorable mention: offsprings of senior police officers and politicians.

[Ulic]

It wouldn't be a problem if they were killing themselves, unfortunately they seem to survive

and the innocent die.

[Sig]

Makes me want to slap those parents silly too! They obviously helped get their kids off the hook. Disgusting. God help my kid if he ever did something like that because God's help is all he's gonna get! People DIED!! And these people don't hardly seem to give a damn.

[hdkane]

These rich punks do not get into car accidents...they CAUSE car accidents...and are responsible for fatalities...karma would make these drains on society a target.

Get out from under your rock. Every day I see, in Pattaya, tickets being handed out to motorcyclists. They have to abandon the bike, go pay the fine, and then return to collect the bike. What annoys me is that they single out the motorbikes. I'm pretty sure many car drivers are underage, without license, talking on phone, etc and should be stopped also.

The funny thing is rich kids think they are above the law that's the kind of mentality that they grow up in... no one should be above the law but unfortunately money talks in this country.

You absolutely right there arrogance is above their ego... the Law should be making an example out of them for the rest, I'd say then the rest of the People   might realize then they are not exempt from prosecution that would definitely get the message across.

Time for Thailand to get tough. Something like this. 3-year-ban, 6 months prison and approx 6,000 baht fine for drunk & dangerous driving.

Drink-driver who crashed with son in car jailed

Tania Chikwature was sentenced to 26 weeks and banned from driving for three years at Peterborough magistrates court

 

A drink-driver who smashed into a concrete roundabout island and launched her car 14ft into the air while her child was in the back has been jailed.

Tania Chikwature, 32, was more than three times the drink-drive limit when she lost control of her Nissan Qashqai as she drove to a wake, Peterborough magistrates court heard on Monday.

The defendant drank vodka the night before and a vodka bottle was found in the car, said Corinne Soanders-Silk, prosecuting.

A lorry driver who witnessed the crash said he did not think those in the car would survive and that the car cleared the roundabout and hit a tree before landing on its roof.

Chikwature’s 20-month-old son was unhurt in the crash, which was captured on dashcam footage as she illegally overtook a lorry on the approach to a roundabout on the A606 in Peterborough. The defendant sustained unspecified injuries.

Chikwature, from Coventry, admitted drink-driving and dangerous driving at an earlier hearing. District judge Ken Sheraton jailed her for 26 weeks and ordered a three-year driving ban.

He told the defendant: “It’s only by luck and certainly by no judgment of yours that you’re not here today facing far more serious charges, and you’re fortunate that somebody didn’t die in that accident.”

Soanders-Silk said the defendant was seen overtaking an HGV on the wrong side of solid white lines.

Lorry driver Richard Jones said, in a written statement, that he saw the car approaching “at speed” in his mirrors and had to brake to allow the car to complete the overtake manoeuvre.

“The car seemed out of control and from the speed it came past me I knew it wasn’t making the roundabout,” he said. “I saw it veer right and mount the concrete roundabout. I remember thinking as it launched into the air: ‘They’re not going to make it.’”

He said the car went 14ft in the air. “It cleared the roundabout, hitting a tree as it flew over it,” he said. “I could see utter devastation.”

The toddler was freed from the vehicle by a passing motorist and Chikwature was freed by firefighters. Soanders-Silk said that, apart from being shocked, the toddler “thankfully was unhurt”.

She said the defendant refused to provide police with a breath sample at the scene, but agreed to give a blood sample four hours later in hospital. Police, using a back calculation, found she had 246mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood at the time of the incident. The legal limit is 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.

“She said she had been drinking vodka from 9pm to 1am the night before,” said Soanders-Silk. “She said she didn’t feel drunk.”

Chikwature, a married stay-at-home mother, denied she had an alcohol problem. “She did state ‘I could have killed my son,’” said Soanders-Silk.

The incident happened at around 11.40am on 12 December.

Sarah Dunne, mitigating, said Chikwature was remorseful and of previous good character.

Chikwature was jailed for 26 weeks for dangerous driving and 12 weeks for drink-driving, to be served concurrently. She was banned from driving for three years and ordered to pay £115 costs.
