There are two points for going through red lights, driving the wrong way and driving under the influence of alcohol (non-severe cases).
In cases where drivers are very drunk or injuries are caused three or even four points can be taken away.
Losing all 12 points means a 90 day suspension. Repeat offenders who lose their next 12 points will be banned for a year.
The above is still not any form of a deterrent, loosing two points for what is considered a major offence in most developed countries is a joke. Loosing all 12 points should be a six month as an absolute minimum and if DUI involved 12 month ban, not that any of this will matter to Thai's as they will still continue as normal as the police are so short sighted when Thai people are driving about flaunting the law.

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration threatened Wednesday to slap a Bt3,000 fine on motorcyclists who are caught repeatedly violating the ban on riding on sidewalks.

As has been stated above, the majority of people both here in Thailand and abroad recognise that this government is still basically military led, therefore not a recognisable duly elected government which will make outside companies hesitant in investing and rightly so, as they (the government) currently appear to be constantly changing their minds as to which direction they want to proceed.

There would be crime, narcotics and prostitution issues. The conflicts of interest involving some law enforcers happen with bars opening until 2am, so if opening hours are extended to 4, it could worsen.”
At least someone is thinking correctly, noise pollution is a big problem here in Thailand and is a problem for visitors that are unfortunate enough to reside close to either bar complexes or where there are occasional open air concerts which are generally way too loud. As correctly noted above, it will also bring an increase with crime and of particular concern is narcotics, which do lead to other crimes like robbery to finance peoples habits also conflicts between various nationalities are to be expected as Pattaya is a melting pot of races and not everyone see things the same way...!!! Therefore I must cast my vote with the 02:00hrs closing is late enough.

Lam said she hoped Hong Kong had "unique advantages in attracting overseas companies".
I think she inwardly knows that while HK is separate from China there is a chance if & when it becomes an integral part of China there will be no attraction.

While I do appreciate she is currently going through hardships my take on this is once she realised she could not afford to take care of the animals why didn't she contact an animal shelter to ask for assistance, I'm sure they would either have supplied her with a basic amount of food to sustain the animals lives or alternatively taken the animals off her hands.

But do you not realise the people you have or are in the process of getting rid of (Farangs) are the people who did spend money in the bars and restaurants......!!

The closing time for pubs and bars is 2am.
Phiphat said he believed that if closing is extended to 4 am, tourists will spend 25 per cent more on eating and drinking.
Talk about a chicken with it's head cut off this government cannot make it's mind up on anything, it was recently in the news that all bars (Farang only of course) must adhere to the closing hours or else, now anything goes no wonder the Thai people are confused of the various laws....!!! This new recommendation of course takes safety into account - NOT...!!

I rarely miss an opportunity to ridicule silly stuff here, but this idea actually represents some progress.
Barriers, whether rubberized or not, are a step (of hundreds) in the right direction.
I really do hope you are joking, if it is Steel, Plastic or Rubber if the structure has to support the impact of a vehicle hitting it at 120KPH then one will be just as dead..!!

Well it would give the Chinese a chance to see what needs to be changed once they take over .....LOL

Sanook reported that a brother murdered his younger sibling after he had been refused money by his mother and threatened to hurt her.
The victim - named as Parinya, aged 22 - had been suffering from mental illness since 2014.
It sounds as though both brothers are or were suffering from mental illness

New traffic laws will lead to more police corruption and higher charges, says transport chief
in Thailand News
Posted
It just says it all really doesn't it, if a person in his position comes out with a statement like this it is obviously well known that the Thai police are corrupt and would not think twice about escalating their ill gotten gains.
