Allegedly Drunk Driver Crashes into Bikes and Two Shops.

 

 

Early on Monday morning a 32-year-old Thai man, with a female passenger, lost control of his motor vehicle on Second Road in South Pattaya and ploughed into three stationary motorbikes before mounting the kerb and coming to an unscheduled stop in the front window of a tailor shop.

The impact forced the three stationary motorbikes through the plate glass window of a foot massage establishment while the vehicle itself took out the front display window of an Indian tailor shop.

Police soon attended the scene and surmised the driver of the vehicle had been rendered a lot less coherent due to his ingestion of a substantial amount of alcoholic beverages. The driver of the car claimed he had swerved to avoid colliding with a motorbike that had cut across in front of him and this is when he lost control of his car and found himself face to windscreen with besuited mannequin. Police, having heard this kind of story many times before from people who have indulged a little too much in the giggle sauce, are inclined to think the man was simply driving too fast.

Fortunately, the massage place had not yet opened for business although the tailor shop had at least one mannequin damaged beyond repair.

Police have arrested the driver, who will now face the costs of repairs for the shops and vehicles, although he may score a couple of cheap sump-oil-stained suits.

Did the tailor try to sell him a suit?

I'm often up and about quite early in the morning and can the night shift or teenage karaoke crew returning home. Many of them are clearly intoxicated and drive their motorcycles in a fast and reckless fashion, especially along Third Road. I saw one idiot the other day speeding along Third, literally coming within an inch of his death from other traffic. He was only using one hand to drive, the other hand being used to hold his motorcycle helmet which he clearly didn't want to wear. This mentality is really hard to understand.
