Unfortunately this is getting worst we don’t only have inexperienced drivers or drivers with no experience at all but more and more ridiculous drivers who shoot at you because you overtake or don’t let them overtake you.

Perhaps the headline is deceiving, since if it happened the way Panu says, it was not murder.

very sad when a citizen is afraid to turn themselves into the police, being concerned for their safety. Not good. The police should be a citizen's first line of protection.

And people wonder why I refuse to get behind the wheel of a car in Thailand.

As for the reward, since the contractor turned himself in, should he not get the reward? Seems fitting, because if this version of the story is correct, he is actually a victim in this.

I have seen this situation where people flash their lights at each other .A pilot was shot about a year ago in the same scenario .People acting badly will have bad things happen to them .

Political killings are not unusual but the contractor's story is more believable to me.
A blue collar worker isn't likely to be a political assassin. Road rage makes more sense.
There was a second person's blood in Farut's car. Where did this person disappear to?
Seems like the original testimony of the witnesses in Farut's car is lacking information.
It's sad that people get so angry on the road that they will kill if they feel they are disrespected.

And I wonder what would happen to that 100000Bhts reward offered by the police since the killer turned himself to the police who haven't had a clue about anything, even the car that was used in this incident was incorrectly indentified.

The incredibly childish behavior and fragile egos that caused this killing are sadly all too common in Thailand. It takes someone with a distorted illusion of self importance to flash high beams at anything in front of him and expect them to fall all over themselves getting out of the way. The danger on Thai roads is not caused by poor driving skills, it's caused by the emotional immaturity of many drivers here, especially the males.

So it was road rage that caused this unnecessary killing, and not politically motivated as originally said by one Dep PM who always talk about everything as if he knows everything.
