That's great news and at last we have a ruling that is sensible. Does the law apply to Thai people on motorcycles too, or just foreigners?

It's hardly surprising, let's face it. The government actually believe that creating central reservations is safer for everybody; maybe there's some form of reverse logic in there somewhere, but I can't see it. Since everyone seems to be in such a hurry, travelling to the next possible U-turn spot doesn't make any sense, wastes time and petrol, so everyone now rides their motorcycles on the wrong side of the road. Those in cars, waiting for a space at the U-turn make the turn and are faced with motorcycles racing towards them in the opposite direction. This has now become the norm, and although you may think it's wrong (and would be considered against the law anywhere else) it's perfectly acceptable. Even the police do it. There are no rules, there is no Highway Code and there is certainly nothing here that resembles respect for other road users. Just make sure you're wearing a mask when you're riding. That's far more important.

I had the same problem which started about 6 weeks ago. No apparent reasons, sometimes the alarm just went off... After some investigation and reading most of the associated blogs I took my 2008 Fortuner to a friend who has a garage. We discovered that there are three horns fitted to this vehicle, one of which is for the alarm system. Disconnected it and no more alarms in the day or in the middle of the night. For those who are still interested in this topic and have the same problem; looking at the car with the bonnet open from the front, it's the horn on the right-hand side of the radiator. A bit awkward to get to because the grille has to be removed, then it's simply a case of removing the connector. You're welcome.
