This driver would have had his talk with the police in a hospital already, if I would have been the "victim"

Also, this is - If the suspect is arrested, the reporter is entitled to 50% of the imposed fine.- interesting!

Wow I can get rich if I start doing this!  I saw the police doing this today on Phahon Yothin in Pathum Thani followed by at least 30 motorbike riders.

These food delivery riders have no respect for the road rules or pedestrians. The riders and the company's that they are riding for should be fined or banned for being dangerous, noisy buggers.

A big part of the problem as I see it, is the conditions the drivers are subjected to, to perform their job. The greedy companies employ them on contracts so they can abrogate their responsibilities as an employer, but enforce employer based conditions upon them. Given the context of their employment it’s not a stretch to conceive their behaviour on the road is in part attributable to the conditions they work to, so they can put food on the table.
