Lungstib Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Another report suggested the driver of the hired vehicle was plugging in his phone to recharge it. Sounds about right. No mention of if these people were wearing seat belts, another piece of useful information not included. Perhaps the report has been 'cleaned up' to satisfy someones interests.

Assurancetourix Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 When you get off a road to arrive on another we do not arrive at high speed unless we want to break his vehicle; but explain physics to a Thai driver ...... , so much to speak to a deaf person. this vehicle seems good for the scrap dealer .

I am guessing that apart from a boys weekend out, they were investigating a soon to be announced government project they are thinking to invest in.

Bob12345 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Strange they go by hired van. As a retired police general you have 2 police officers at your disposal to drive you around (1 for you, 1 for your spouse). I presume he also owns a car, so there is no need to hire a van.

Doubt that, you can bet the name/s used for the booking don't match any names reported in the news article - so clearly no trouble for the driver - silence in golden.

dcnx Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Good! It’s going to take police and higher ups getting injured and killed before anything positive will actually happen to get these manics off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does he live in a sad world? They do that sort of thing here. Did you purposely gloss over the police / politician pedo ring in the north not too long ago? That was one way they got to the girls. Some people choose to live in reality and others with their head in the sand. Your call. But while you have your head in the sand, don’t be surprised if someone gets you from behind.
