richard_smith237 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) The Phuket news needs to readdress the term ‘narrowly missed’.... it looks like a fairly successful impact to me !!!! Quote Maj Niwat told The Phuket News that Mr Kovalenko did not appear drunk, and hence did not have him tested for alcohol. People can drive drunk.. just don’t appear drunk if they have an accident and they won’t get tested !!! Good message to send out !!!

Kopitiam Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The same thing happened recently. Thai driver facing a 400B fine for reckless driving. For the Russian, maybe 4000B (farang price). Insurance will take care of the rest of the damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny1990 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 This traffic gridlock Obviously needs a tunnel or the relocation of the monument. Somebody do something please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psimbo Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I like that he was not tested for alcohol as he 'appeared' not to be intoxicated. (Well- I don't like it to be honest. Its about time people were tested on the spot as a matter of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
