bodga Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Not for the first time this has happened, today a big lorry decided to turn round on my driveway as the man opposite is doing some work on his land, I hear all this revving outside and go out to see this lorry almost in my gate and run down to see whats going on...........too late <deleted> has already hit my wall cracked the main post in 3 places and then starts to drive off....he goes to the land opposite with my Wife in hot pursuit. Tells him he's hit our wall.........he comes over has a look and said it wasnt him it was already damaged!!! the wheel marks off his lorry visible all over the concrete and the dent in the doorbell cover still there, now the gate doesnt close properly as is out of vertical by about 2 inches. Reminds me of the time someone hit my car and said the damage was already there. Out and out LYING TURDS...head of village is on the way, suspect hes gonna repeat he didnt do it even though I was right next to it as he reversed in waving my arms over the gate to stop him doing even more damage. get sick of the lies here at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WineOh Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I used to hear the same spiel back home all the time too. Once some young thug rear ended me at the lights in birkenhead and had the audacity to tell me it was my fault and I should have gone through when the lights were on red as there was no traffic coming the opposite way. beggars belief ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post blackcab Posted December 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2020 It's definitely worth having a camera installed pointing towards your front gate. We had the same problem - a pickup truck hit one of our gates at speed, and destroyed the gate. The pickup then tried to drive off, even though the vehicle was badly damaged. The fact that there was a camera recording the whole thing meant that we didn't have to go through the charade you did. It's like having a camera in your car; you have to protect yourself sometimes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there were two witnesses waiting in a car to get into our land, they watched him hit the wall................they said to my Wife.......the damage is only small!!! Yeah it doesnt look much but the post is cracked in 3 places so water will get into the rebar in it, the gate now doesnt close correctly on the bracket as its out of alignment. These witnesses are waiting top start work on my land rebuilding my concrete wall into the pond Edited December 3, 2020 by bodga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear end collision is always the fault of the person who rear ends any vehicle regardless of circumstance. Failure to stop springs to mind, ????

I find it extremely difficult to believe they'd give a toss about a damaged wall. Just look at how they reacted (or in this case didn't react) when one of their own was fatally injured in a hit and run a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done for the most convoluted reason to bring up the Red Bull case - just proving that the TVF populace can manage to get in to any thread. Now all we are missing is "brown envelope" and "dirty farang" then this thread has ticked all the TVF cliche boxes, we can close it and you can move on to the next one. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - some jerk Aussie kid rear ended my wife causing about 30,000 baht in damage... it was near our home and he had offered her 1000 baht.. and this jerk was raging when I got there and said nothing happened and drove away, leaving the scene - we went to the police but his license plate was untraceable... fortunately we have full insurance..

I'm aware dual pricing is a fact and in some ways unfair, but the posters who refuse to pay and either sit in their car for hours whilst the rest of the family have a great time or flounce off home because of a pitifully small, in the grand scheme of things, surcharge, really need to get a grip!

Personally, I'm in favor of dual pricing because it allows many places to stay open at a quality level that they otherwise couldn't. If everyone paid the Thai price, the place would be jam packed and they'd still go broke. If everyone had to pay the higher price, the place would be like a cemetery and it would go broke for lack of overhead absorption. That said, there's places I won't go because the value just isn't there for me at the higher price. But that's true of venues all over the world that don't have dual pricing. And I prefer the choice. Edit: I take a lot of guff for that position, but that's okay, given where it comes from. Edited December 6, 2020 by impulse 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
