Thread: Drugged up Aussie expat goes on driving rampage and kills two Thais in Udon Thani

Oh, wait...

Seriously fleeing from the police after a fender-bender was a very poor choice. Would he have done the same in Australia ?

I wouldn't want to be in this 55-year-old man's shoes. The only bright light to his future is that he may be able to pay enough monetary compensation to the deceased members family to avoid time in prison for his actions.

If successful in that task surely it would be high time to get out Dodge before other folk take matters into their own hands.

RIP.

He obviously should be blaming his brakes, wet roads, wrong amulet, etc.

When in Rome... flee the scene of an accident innit...

kidding...

Foreigner or native, should be treated the same... no sense of personal responsibility to the victims.. your first act should be to render assistance to the injured.

fleeing the scene of an accident should add years to the sentence...

I seen a picture of that Aussy pleb the moment the pigs caught him.

Huge fat guts on him taking up most of the frame.

Fuking fat pig he was. Disgraceful and typical of the monger.

Doesn't sound like he fled that one...No "injuries" in the first scrape...

Err, a middle-aged Australian man affected by prescription drugs drives irresponsibly while under the influence and with his judgement impaired becomes, in Thai reportage terms, a " Drugged up farang kills on a rampage" story.

Yep, no bias there.

Of course not. And it wouldn't be surprising if they hurtled out of a side road without slowing down or looking. Possibly they were on the wrong side of the road.
Not a Thai basher, but all of those things are more than possible, they're likely. Fact of the matter.

Yes, and he should claim all of the above factors too. And say he was stressed because of money matters.

Yeah, of course. If it had been a Thai it would have been tragic accident because sick man on medication was forced to swerve by a pedestrian and accidently hit the motorcycle.

Aha, should be treated the same as whom exactly? Same as some potless peasant or the same as the Red Bull heir and many others?

If he's cashed up could avoid time, will also depend on who the victims were. He will have to live with a very poor decision for the rest of his life.

^ "Should"... needless to say I know money talks - crims walk... and the law is not evenly applied across the board.

The story link is from the SMH.

Indeed, in my haste I overlooked the fact that the headline was the work of one of our own membership who although not an Isaanite himself does seem to share the cultural hallmarks of one.

CCTV footage.

He would never flee the scene of an accident in OZ and he does here killing two and injuring a third child.

What goes through the mind of some expats here when they know the rules back home and because they are here do not practice them.

I bet he will get a lot of time to think about his murderous decision.

RIP to the fellow human beings he stole the life from.

Cheers for posting.

Looks like she just drove straight in front of him at a junction.

Delayed reaction from meds.

One must always be 110% alert on the road in Thailand.

Blokes gonna lose some weight in prison now.

Whats with the bullet shell casings in the second video at 2 mins 18s ??

looking at the (horrific) accident footage, the motorcycle driver was hardly blameless.

woman with 2 kids on board a motorcycle driving across the flow of traffic without due care and attention meets aussie bogan high on meds trying to outrun the police after colliding with a bus.

what could possibly go wrong.

Driving in Thailand - is it really worth the hassle, when there are so many taxis?

He was there fleeing an earlier accident.

How can you possibly know that?

Agree with others fleeing for a minor incident and ending up killing people...

Maybe he feared being shaken down for the clipping, it happens sometimes, even when blameless... More probably due to his mental condition. It's a no no anyway, with all CCTV cams here there are few chances he could get away unnoticed anyway (even without cop nearby)

Agree also the victims are not blameless, but well they will put all the blame on him as it happened while fleeing the cops...

You 'agree with others' about it?

It's plainly stated in the report.

I also agree
