Huh?  Can anyone with experience back up this statement, which seems absurd?

..why 13?

Having been given morphine in hospital I cant imagine what 13 times more powerful would do because I was already in heaven when they had me on that stuff...I somehow doubt it can be true. After all, if it was true, then why would a controlled kratom not be used in hospitals instead of an equally controlled morphine?

Can anyone actually show me where the Royal Thai Police advertise the 'TO PROTECT AND SERVE' on their vehicles or anywhere else? I think that is an Americanism. Happy to be corrected. Where I come from its the "XXX STATE POLICE FORCE". Not there to ether protect or serve, just enforce the law.

...to 'Protect and Serve' is the crux of all Police Services world-wide.

This is why we put in a 50m x 50m x 10m this past year. The 3 weeks of rain that we had in September filled it. This pond is doing its job and as you can see a second corp of organic rice and a 5 rai garden all organic. Location is Kap Choeng Surin.

..that's nice dear!

Share on them

I do understand it was not their responsibility

But you do have to help people in need

Not a very good impression off The Pattaya Police

...what!....it is their responsibility to serve and protect the community at anytime and under any circumstance...you are correct with your typo 'share' on them, because that is what they were waiting for..as if you can make baht notes appear from soiled clothing.

...who teaches these teachers?

This topic is too sad for me …. 

..it sure is..we're just trying to help a 'friend' who is reaching out..at least you only have to address the issue once then you can rest a little bit easier in a foreign country knowing she is being taken care of well.

Never let them take your keys. Easy enough to find someone to translate a ticket. I did. Your friend should polish up those social skills.

Read my post for goodness sake:

 

Did I not cover that?

...probably. I was posing the question, i wonder if they will realise that it is not just as easy as it seems, citing this example in some Australian states where the legislation has been challenged. I am not privy to all the Court Appeals publications but can only relate what has appeared in newspapers out of public interest, particularly NSW, WA and TAS. I cannot object to what the local authorities decide on, but you can rest assured the offenders will try to find a way around it. Just raising the point out of Forum interest. Cya.

I have.

In the UK:

Point systems are used all over the world.  The numbers differ between countries and even between states in the US.  However, the principle is the same whether deducting points from a start value or totting up to a maximum.  A 13th point is allowed in New South Wales if you can prove yourself to be a 'professional driver'!

 

I invite you to show me where the '13th point' has been challenged successfully. 

New South Wales.

They are neither 'demerit points' or 'merit points', just the terminology that's being used.

 

Check it out, not just Thailand but the many countries using similar systems.

 

...check it out yourself HHTel..i made the comment: i wonder what Thais system will be, as in other countries there have been legal challenges to the 12th point loss, making it when the next or 13th point has been infringed on...geez!

...why not be a gentleman and look the other way.

Not true.  Merit points work on two levels across the world. 

1.  A given amount of points which get subtracted until they reach zero

2. Points are added until they reach a maximum.

 

There is no '13th' demerit.  Once you've reached zero then you cannot drive.

 

..legally you would have to incur a further demerit point loss...for the sake of it i called it the '13th' of 'next' penalty before you physically have to surrender your license.

By the way...these are 'demerit points' not 'merit points'...you get those from a monk..????
