6 in a Jazz, with 5 seat belts? Not that they would be in use of course though! A very lucky escape, other than the amount of tea!

How drunk was the driver? Or was she too cute for the local authorities to care?

Editor Comment:

It may seem preposterous to you, peter rawai, but some groups of young people enjoy nightclubs without drinking. Others even appoint a designated driver to remain sober for the evening. We don't have any indication as to whether or not the driver had been drinking. Assuming the worst about everyone is not something fair-minded people do. Why splash your suspicions online without evidence?

I know that stretch of road. Maybe I was ASS-U-ME-ing the worst (Groucho Marx, forgive me!). Then we simply have another unworthy driver on the roads of Phuket. The story did not say anything about negligence, etc. or otherwise from the police. A simple case of the blind (driving instructor) teaching the blind, if I understand your argument?

I drive these roads every day. After a night of fun, she was distracted somehow(?) You cannot argue with that! But I know this is how you keep a captive reader/audience. How else could she have be in the drink?
