Nope, the drinker is always at fault IMO, as for blame shouldering, when have you ever witnessed that in a motor vehicle accident?
Anyway, that matters not one iota and you thinking up pointless scenarios are idiotic and insensitive.
The fact is that irresponsible thick old twat who doesnt have a driving license has by his drunken antics wiped out the whole life of a little girl and deserves a world of pain

The reaction on here will be somewhat more muted than if it were a pissed up Thai pushing 80 who'd killed a ten year old Brit though.
In fact there will probably be accusations of reckless garland selling in a built up area.
:rolleyes:
Since the average "Chimp" has the known ability to multi-task far better than the average human being (Brits withstanding),Quote:

In any particular accident, there can be many causative factors. That one driver was drunk and an idiot for driving drunk does not absolve or take away from other causative factors.
It was not me that brought up another scenario, it was you.
So, as per your example scenario, the Thai dad drives badly but is absolved completely? Would the accident have occurred if Thai dad drove properly and well, not speeding, not on the wrong side of the road and daughter was buckled in?
We don't know, hence my question regarding the other driver.
IF it was a case that Thai dad was doing dumb stuff while driving, then despite Mr N being a total arse and fuckwit, Thai dad must bear some responsibility too because if Thai dad had driven responsibly the accident may never have happened.
Apparently, that elderly Brit hasn't learned much:ourrules:(as usual), during his 20-year farang tenure, eh? :chitown:

Thanks for the effort, nonetheless.

Absolutely true, and well stated. :rofl: Thank you, sir.Quote:

Not like you to miss sarcasm quite so witlessly.
This thread would be well over 300 posts by now if the nationality mix were different.
Obviously I'm not surprised to see the whole thing passing jeff by.
wtf is it about some of you parents and the world's children, you self righteous arse.
Yes, your first comment was sarcasm.Quote:

And there's the problem with the Thai system.Quote:

Hope they throw the book at him, better still, a few nice heavy thick encyclopedias, dropped from a height
At that age when reaction times are slower and then to exacerbate it by being drunk. Obviously not a little drunk if he has fallen asleep at the wheel. Not sure if it is his total lack of responsibility or his stupidity that offends me more. Whatever happens to him the real loser is the little 10 year old girl whose future he has stolen and the parents who have been deprived of their daughter. No amount of compensation or jail time will fix that.
Oh well at least he didn't say the brakes failed.

^What a ridiculous statement. So that makes it ok then?:chitown:
He will most probably buy his way out too.
I am amazed a 79 year old stayed awake long enough to get drunk and walk.
