Thai driver flees the scene after refusing to pay compensation

A house owner posted a video on Facebook to shame a Thai driver after he did a U-turn next to her property and crushed a bucket.  

Maliwan Homsiang told Thai Rath said she confronted the driver and asked him to step out and pay her compensation for the damage to her bucket. Instead he just wound down the window of his Nissan Almera and gave her a quick “wai” before saying: “Why do I have to pay you?” He then drove off.  

Maliwan said there was a proper U-turn nearby and he didn’t need to use the passageway leading to a rental property next to her building.  She wants an apology from the driver.  But at least there was public shame – 58,000 people viewed the footage.
