Motorcyclist Reports Road Rage Incident Involving Alleged Police Officer in Pak Chong
A delivery rider has reported a road rage incident in Nakhon Ratchasima where a pickup truck driver allegedly emitted black smoke and claimed to be a police officer.
On September 22, 2026, a delivery rider shared a video on social media documenting a road rage incident in Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima. According to the rider, a white four-door Isuzu pickup truck accelerated aggressively near the library intersection, intentionally emitting a cloud of black smoke that engulfed the motorcyclist following behind.
When the rider attempted to confront the driver to ask about the behavior, the driver reportedly displayed hostility and claimed to hold the rank of Police Lieutenant Colonel (Phan Tamruat Tho). The driver allegedly told the rider to settle the matter at a police station if they had a grievance. The video has since sparked significant online criticism regarding both the dangerous practice of emitting excessive exhaust smoke and the driver’s use of a police identity to intimidate others.
For residents and travelers, this incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding road etiquette and the potential for aggressive behavior on local roads. It remains to be confirmed by relevant authorities whether the individual involved is indeed a serving police officer. Officials are currently investigating the incident to verify the driver's identity and the circumstances surrounding the claims made in the video. No official statement has been released yet regarding the status of the individual or potential legal actions.
