A video circulating on social media has drawn significant public criticism after it captured a modified, lowered pickup truck performing dangerous maneuvers on a public bridge in Chonburi. The footage, originally highlighted by the popular Facebook page 'Hia Khab Rod', shows the vehicle swerving repeatedly from left to right while passengers cheer, seemingly attempting to showcase the truck's handling. The incident occurred on the coastal road near the Chonburi wastewater treatment plant in Samet sub-district. Local residents have expressed strong disapproval of the behavior, labeling it as highly inappropriate and a serious risk to public safety. One local resident, identified as 'Ek', noted that while the drivers may view the act as a display of skill or entertainment, such reckless driving on a public thoroughfare could easily lead to accidents, endangering both the occupants and other motorists.
