Oh I agree, and even feel the same on a motorcycle..... but the rule being introduced is a blanket one and should be accepted. Too many damned fools think they are above the rules for some reason I cannot fathom. 

Well at least we can agree  on something, some rules are ridiculous, I dont disagree  about mask wearing but under this circumstances its nonsense. Just like wearing a mask while  swimming.

The discussion was about wearing a mask, surely opening the window and breathing all over a Thai policeman without a mask is the first consideration. Then take back your licence, put it down, and employ hand sanitizer. 

Avoid any problem all together by NOT  opening the window, Police can see the licence through my glass.

So are you inferring that when you are shagging her later it could be outside in your walled 20 rai ?????????

Do you want a photo of the wall or what?

Depends if her twin Sister is there as  well, its easy to make a mistake!

Just now, Excel said:

I agree , but refusing to obey a police instruction will expose you to a huge risk

That depends for example we have a RED  box  on our  house, for those that dont know the Police get  some of their funding through this  illegal practice whereby (  more or  less  protection money) you pay them 1000 baht a month to "help" you with any problems at your address.  If I get any problems with the Police I call "our man" he deals with it on our behlaf, its  helped on a few  occasions over the years.

And some are their own worst enemies. They do not have the right to make up the national laws they are expected to live by though do they?

 

Simply bull headed obstinance in these circumstances. 

Some maybe but  Ill stick to what I thinks  safe based on reason , wearing a mask in a car with only  yourself in their or even the Wife  is ridiculous, I mean Ill be shagging her later, do I need to wear the mask  then or  only if its out on the land 20 rai walled  not  open to the public after all I would be outdoors.

Just now, Excel said:

They could but they don't, and refusing to obey a police request is not a wise thing to do 

Depends  how much you  value  your  life with covid and opening a window is  inviting  in Covid, just think how  many people they will have had contact with in an evening of stops.

Now just think at those police checkpoints when they ask to see your license how many driving licenses they touch

Again that's unnecessary they could  just LOOK at it even through the window if they didn't have  100%  black tint.

New study.       https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/mit-researchers-say-youre-no-safer-from-covid-indoors-at-6-feet-or-60-feet-in-new-study.html

Heard from 'a friend in Itaoly the other day, she caught it and her Husband, they are devout  mask wearers and hand washers, she had no symptoms he ended up 20 days in hospital. I find this  interesting  Id  love to know why some people remain  with no symptoms or almost  none and others end up dead. Maybe genetics  has a role to  play in which case identifying who is susceptible would be great. neither of them have any other health issues  not over weight and both 50 yrs  old.

Why does every single rule and regulation have to be justified to you? Same as the seat belt, put it on.

Because some people do  have the ability to think for themselves rather than blindly obey.

Drove through a police road block the other week, I got stopped wound the window down the police told me to wear the mask, 

I would refuse to wind the window  down, why invite in unnecessary contact. And how stupid is wearing a mask in your  car anyway, they just  blindly  follow their orders.

if you leave your home in these provinces you wear a mask properly (not under the chin.)

But is that EXACTLY what the law  says? I could literally wear it  on my arm to comply if it said wear a mask.

Sorry to hear about your family member, we joke and we laugh about it , but lightening is no laughing matter. 

How do you install a "surge arrestors on the incoming supply"  I want it done right, Do I hire an electrician, what do I buy? Is there a particular product you recommend? 

I am sure many others will like to know also. ????

Very easy to do if you have room  on the board they  just clip  on the din rail.

Does anyone have any insight into this? Is there a real danger or is this being over exaggerated?

I thought it  wouldnt  happen around here and it didnt......for 7 years then BAM one day  all the electrics  got fried, since put in  surge protection, strike was close by on the electric  overhead  cables, enough to   break many things in the  village and at our  land inc electric  gate, lights and a whole  host of other  stuff. .

How can you call somewhere a dump that you have not been for 35 years ? 
The suburb I live in in Sydney was a dump 35 years ago. Now it’s fully gentrified and one of the most popular places in the city. 
 

Guess  what, I  still have some friends  there.

My God, you are brave or crazy, most of them have a gun and a lot less than that to set them off. 

No I'm just not a pushover won't stand for  bullying or  intimidation, I've reported the cretin to the Police, I should  have just ran the $ucker  over and claimed fear of my life or something. Here's the friendly  fella, my Police redbox  1000 baht a month comes in useful at times  like this  when you want them to actually  do something. If they dont they lose their 1000 baht a month income they've  had for the last 8 years.

Briefly I was at the front of the queue waiting to turn right at traffic lights one lane is turn right only the rest are  straight  on, Mr impatient me first  was 4  cars  behind in a White Suzuki small  lorry "Carryvan" and as the lights  changed he  pulled out into the straight on lane then tried to cut  me off almost  hitting me then declaring his rage at not being able to push his way in sounded his  horn then proceeded to try and pass me at a busy Tesco and into oncoming traffic, could easily  have run someone  over and finally tried to push me off the road . I was behind another car and stopped, he  leapt  out waving his  machete.

Police  man who comes to our  land  already told  me from the number plate they are bad  people. He  will  follow  it  up. This is a  compressed  copy the original is  much sharper, I recommend everyone driving in Thailand gets a  dash cam front and rear because  some  Thais are very fond of  lying. It  will  probably go nowhere, let's see.

I didn't have to do  much pointing at the Police  station, they copied  all the video and photos, wrote  it  all up and I signed it.
