On Wednesday, a video titled “The end of a reckless teenager” was posted by TikTok user @lineage5578, showing a young man proudly displaying his modified motorbike. At the beginning of the video, he revs the engine to demonstrate its loud and powerful exhaust, before setting off on a nighttime ride. Keen observers will note that two police officers can be seen in the background, carrying out their duties by the roadside.

The video then jumps forward in time, revealing the same young man sitting with his head down on a wooden table, appearing to be on the verge of tears. Opposite him, a police officer can be seen writing out a ticket in accordance with the law. It is presumed that the authorities managed to catch up with him and stop him, resulting in this unfortunate situation. To top it off, the rider will also have to pay a fine of 2,000 baht.
