Severe damage? Spinning several times? Sounds like a hi-so. Pattaya Plod will naturally believe this nonsense and NOT breathalyse him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 If it's true he spun "several times," he was not going at "low speed." At low speed, you might spin a quarter turn. And the damages look too great for a leisurely spin. Try again, Ohm Boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toenail Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 .,,,,”breaks don’t work”, now the excuse is a tire blow-out. I’ve had a couple tires “blow-out” during my lifetime and I didn’ lose control of the car. I think this guy was speeding but, hey, this is Thailand. Put the blame on something else.

JustAnotherHun Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 A tire "blowout" at low speed results in nothing serious, never ever in a multiple spin around. But "low speed" is quite relative. Next time better use "break failure". Was this "VIp" tested on drugs? On alkohol? Bet on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMuhammad Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I had a stack recently and although I was cut off if I had have been travelling at a normal speed it could have been avoided. Brakes worked fine, I just messed up. There, it’s not so hard is it? 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This guys wreck looks like a 2015-17 Shelby GT350, however that usually came with a large V8 about 5.2l . Not sure what Thai import laws are re big mills. I can't believe that much damage can be incurred at "low speed, as most posters here have already pointed out. I am not familiar with the new generation of Shelbys as I only ever owned an old '66 GT350 40 years ago. Maybe someone with more info can speculate how/why he managed to remove a door at low speed. Do young motorcycle racers usually drive their hot rods at an easy 60km/h? , especially in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( glad no one was injured) they are NOT taught what to do when a blow occurs nor what to do "if brakes fail" absolutely drivers fault by NOT knowing how to control a vehicle. What eould he have been like IN A SKID when on snow....his excuse would be "wrong kind of snow" !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramdas Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 It sounds like this guy was a loser at racing bikes ( mind you superbike, big bike in Thailand don’t go over 300cc the rest is just BS ) Just as bad to drive in a straight line with his car apparently. I reckon this guy not only needs a proper extensive driving training but also to be submitted to a lie detector since his lies don’t stick one bit but hey in Thailand when you’re Thai and got money you get away pretty much with everything, a good example of hiso attitude, sad really ????????

shady86 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 And the quality of roads here, you wouldn't want to drive it with super low profile tyres. The holes and bumps would damage the thin tyres and rim easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
