RJRS1301 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Must have been some slam into the tree, as it is reported that she was in reverse. Under influence of medication, looks questionable from an insurance claim. Thankfully only minor injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving after taking any medication which can impair your driving skills should be avoided. Meds usually have advice on the pack and you should be aware of the effects the med can have. Do you not read carefully the tiny writing, or the paper inside before driving? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and it show that foreigners are as bad as Thais plenty of Thais that have not made any accidents too just like you. You take it too personal. Its not as if foreigners are superior to Thais while many seem to think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now its a foreigner and barely 2 pages with almost no negative comments. Just goes to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had she been Thai it would have been stupid and they're all bad drivers who shouldn't be on the road anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amykat Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The article said she MAY have been on medication, and it does not say what kind, and it also says she was fleeing a domestic abuse situation. So she may have just been beaten up. She may be taking blood pressure meds, or any number of things, and certainly does not look like she planned on driving. That is quite different than your typical drunk who goes out and plans to drink and plans to drive home! Maybe getting beat up and being on medication in the first place, impaired her judgement which made her decide to drive? Who knows but hardly the same as ALL Thais and their <deleted> driving, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making it up to suit your narrative. Yes, it does say she may have been on medication. I can't recall any article where that was mentioned, do you have any reason to doubt? And then you start assuming things. You're apologizing for something that shouldn't be apologized for, looking at your last line the reason is clear.
