Yellow boxes that nobody gives a toss here and if observed properly can help with traffic flow.

Did they not bring in a law saying red plates can only be used for a very small number of days/ The plates belong to a motor dealer, so they should know which vehicle was using their plates when an offence was committed. 

I have seen cars having red plates for ages.. I doubt anything has been done about this or if it's done then those with the $$$ as usual can get away with it.

I have been wondering how does the automated ticketing system work (the one you get the fine posted at home similar to the OP photo) for those using red plates.

I have encountered a number of police checkpoints in Thailand in, frankly, incredibly dangerous locations. e.g 1. on a stretch of 2 or 3-lane highway one may suddenly encounter a few cones placed in a line at 30 degrees to the kerb, abruptly closing the outer 2 lanes.

2. just over a crest, or just around a curve deliberately to catch in a very low-tech manner, using surprise, the motorcyclist not wearing a helmet.

3. maybe the worst type, jumping into the traffic to stop it.

4. Even worse than number 3, jumping into the second or third lane of traffic from a concealed position behind slow-moving traffic in lanes 1 or 2.

 

These checkpoints are ridiculously dangerous. They create danger which did not exist otherwise. They are moronic and yet seem to be included in some kind of informal police training here.

 

I don't know if this happened here. But I can imagine a scenario where the convoy of Singaporeans suddenly found the lanes blocked by police or cones, almost certainly with no warning. (A warning would warn drivers and decrease the take, which is the whole point of these roadblocks.)

Worst one I encountered was during a trip up north, I think it was in Phrae, they had set up the bloody checkpoint at the foot of a steep hill between the mountains behind a curve so basically you can't see them till you are less than 50 metres away. Luckily traffic was almost nil. Bunch of morons..

Another waste of paint..
