Yes....Somchai the truck driver or Somchai the merc driver...same same....just more comfy driver seat.

You do not run from the scene of an accident if not guilty....simple....and considering reports.....eyewitness....of him being drunk....then you dun have to be a rocket scientist....oh and you would have been in the wrong if it had been you...cos you were drunk.

Guess what....my brother was killed by a drunk driver.....guess what the drunk driver did....he ran away.

Ran or Staggered ?

Sorry to hear about your brother.

Drove actually.

As soon as I read the title I knew that this thread would be an attempt at slagging off an alleged hiso. And it was.

Vehicle that hits another from behind is always in the wrong therefore your nephews friend is in the wrong and should cover damages to the Mercedes (was the Merc driver charged with drink drinking), lets hope he/she is adequately insured. the injured passengers should also be covered by insurance.

You're not in the wrong If the car in front suddenly brakes or swerves and you hit it from behind.
They were doing about 140 kph so judging from the photos I'd suggest there was a big speed difference.
no the merc driver was not breathalysed. No-one was.
It should be for a court to decide blame.
They may now know who the mini driver was but they are afraid he'll disappear (or advised to) if too much is revealed.

No where in Thailand has a safe speed posted at 140 klm per hour. Speeding. Plain and simple.

This is Thailand, not California. However, the concept of Contributory Negligence is a concept in the Thai legal codes. It might be applied here.

Just a thought, but if confronted by a car full of people and you're on your own you might decide discretion is the better part of valor.

I'm sure the OPs relatives are lovely people, but we can't know how they reacted and they did outnumber the Merc driver and shootings and other acts of violence over traffic accidents aren't exactly unknown.

Also, the bottom line is that they hit him from behind.  There has to be really clear evidence of extraordinary bad driving by the person in front for it not to be the driver behind's fault, and no evidence has been presented, in this thread at least.

Apparently the CCTV camera that views the road it rotates and actually missed the accident but obviously came back and recorded the aftermath.
It was very dark and the pictures are not very good.

If you run from an accident, regardless of fault, you must be considered guilty.

Yeah maybe back home but not here, I don't there is even a penalty here for leaving/fleeing the scene of an accident.

[farang000999]

They only thing I take out of this is don't drive 140kph. You can assign all the blame you want, it probably won't make things better. Insurance covers what it will cover, after that, good luck. Driving is dangerous and suspectible to human error, rich or poor.
