What a knob. SoCal always boasted of this kind of crap. I wonder if he forgot to counter steer?

His companion didn’t hold back on throwing him under the bus either.

Hope the Brit dies.

That's a bit extreme!

How will everyone get their compensation if he dies?

[cyrille]

I wouldn't put it past his rental to get hold of it somehow.

Guy was driving a motorcycle side car. Illegal vehicle on the road. Plus no helmets tax and insurance. More than likely his lights weren't working either and as pissed as the Brit may be have been. Obviously the fuzz will side with the Thai twat?

I don't think they are illegal, I think they come under the same license as tuk tuks (three wheeled vehicle).

Which does mean, of course, there's probably fuck all chance this old duffer had one.

Regardless of this, the pissed up farang is clearly to blame for being a prize fucking idiot.

Of course it doesn't help that the bint snitched on him for being drunk, stoned and speeding to boot.

Yes true romance squished, in years to come fines paid he'll realize it was a lucky escape.
