You know how she was executing her u-turn, do you?

Stupid and unnecessary comment about driving license. Unfortunately typical smart <deleted> comment Hear, hear.

"A representative of the contractor responsible for the construction of that particular section of the elevated motorway rushed to the Samae Dam police station last night to arrange compensation. He promised that the company would compensate the victim for the damage, but would wait for a professional assessment of the damage first".

Why would you be so sure that they do not have licences and (apart from another lame Thai-bash) even if they don't have licences, what's the relevance to the incident or it's outcome?

It's just as ludicrous to ignore the fact that the huge weight of water heavily distorted the roof that the windscreen frame is part of and to which the very-breakable windscreen is glued. Bend the frame and the fixed glass breaks even if the weight of the water was not enough to do so.

No, the correct wording is "death certificate", there's no capitalisation or multiple exclamation marks.

In the case of this OP, there is no spouse, just a girlfriend.

Obviously, yes. It's sure not in his girlfriend's name or the nurse's name.

What does "Amterdam" [sic] and "The Haugue" [sic] mean?

Oh yes there are. https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/Crackdown-tinted-glass-cars Oh, no, there are not, that proposal never went ahead... https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/Aboutface-tinted-windows

I don't think that tourists will be at all bothered by two pubs being closed.

It's not non-enforcement of tint regulations, the point is that there are no tint laws to be enforced. That's why no one ever gets ticketed for dark tints and I'd guess that at least 90% of vehicles have them.

Back up your "nonsense" (your word) allegation with some evidence, then. There are no window tinting laws in effect in Thailand. You know that blocking my comments only affects you, right, not me? "Ha ha", to quote you.

Yes, and that is why I call this exception the Factory of death by the government. "I call this exception the Factory of death". The law (government as you refer to it) does not exempt anyone from riding unlicenced.

Thaivisa flip-flopping posters can have it both ways, and they do!

I think, but not sure it is a maximum of 30%. It's not, there are no window tint regulations here.

No, he won't have!

That is incorrect.

No, it is not covered in Thai law. There are no tint restrictions.

You were obliged to pay the fine as wearing of seat belts for rear seat passengers has been mandatory for a few years now, it is not a new law that is just being introduced now.

No, my logic is not flawed but your TV "logic" sure is. Your Escort was probably produced before regulations demanded that rear belts, or approved mounting points, were mandatory, as in my Cortina GT and 1600E of the late '60s period. Carrying of passengers in that area behind the extended cab pickup's driver is not permitted by law in Thailand. That people use it for that purpose is beside the point. If that rear space was designed to be used to carry passengers there would be seat belts provided from the factory (as required by safety regulations). That's why every car designed for carrying rear seat passengers produced for many years has rear belts, or the provision of approved fixing points. Extended cab pickups (not double cabs) do not have that provision, that is because there's no reason for them to be provided, just as there's no reason to provide belt mounts in the rear tray of pickups.

Same as in every other country.

There have never been laws specifying the maximum tint in Thailand, there were going to be regulations introduced in 2000 but those plans were abandoned.

Police officers have the authority to use their discretion and just issue a warning for any offence at any time.
