Is that the plan?

 

Genius. 

Yep, road kill is now cured and here was I thinking 777 was the anticipated number of deaths expected over the period.

Ineptitude on steroids.

How can it possibly fail?

I think you have that wrong. If I kill you on the road do I really have to hang your carcass up until your cured like a leg of ham. Yuck, just the thought of having you hanging around until your cured ready to eat. No thanks I'll just leave you on the side of the road for the ants

[Megasin1]

Is this a misquote and should read 7/11 ?

[tinca tinca]

Road safety measure!  Nothing short of closing all the roads for 21 days will suffice.

Probably getting ready to turn left (from the middle lane as normal).

When these idiots get behind a wheel it's too late, better Policing or not. The only way to change their reckless behavior is to start a School and teach road safety and the highway code there, preferably before they start riding motor bikes around the age of 12!

yes but something needs to be done now. I believe that the government must give the police a better budget to improve their equipement and to do away with the road check points and put those police on the roads where they can be seen and make the police do their jobs and enforce the road laws. make the fines higher and then the revenue that comes in from the fines would help to start the education and driver training of the young ones. This system has worked in other countries. But need to get the attention of today's drivers to change their driving attitude. Heavy fines quick change attitudes

So are they only capable in implementing these safety measures for only a few days of each of the festive times.

How about permanent safety measures.

Same as many countries.  Many focus on holiday periods with increased media coverage etc. 

[Jonmarleesco]

And coming up with a logo is going to do what the transport department fails to do, year in, year out - deter morons on the roads?

<deleted> (was deleted) and I mean it.

Hasn't anybody looked up what 777 means?

777 may be nirvana? Or is it more realistically Your time is gonna come? Have a butchers on the internet.

"Number 777 brings a message from your angels that you are on the right path and living and serving your Divine life purpose. The Universe is happy with your progress and due to your positive efforts and hard work you have earned your rewards."

 

7 is the lucky number in Thai.

 

Do they think the campaign will be lucky,

or are they assuming that the people that get killed had it coming?

 

Absolutely amazing thailand. 

[Media1]

Have we upgraded local buses as promised lol. Currently as we speak I are watching a old movie. The Killing Fields. Let's be honest the government likes a good cull. They breed like rabbits

I'd suggest that the checkpoints themselves are in fact hazards and are just as likely to cause accidents as prevent them.

Agreed. People suddenly stopping, trying to u turn, trying to run through. Etc. seen it all.

[Shaunduhpostman]

Human lives only matter at the holidays apparently and strangely only at the holidays that are not particularly important in Thailand. Gotta keep up that image!

[idman]

And of course this program will do absolutely <deleted> all to lower road deaths in Thailand.  After this 777 malarky is over the number of road deaths will have increased over last year.

[johnno2]

Back in the old country, during a holiday, the fines and points loss from your licence is doubled. people soon learn when you are paying $600 fines for minor traffic offences and losing 6 points from their licence. 

I can imagine the brain dead idiots who dreamed up this 777 thing sitting around like in an episode of old TV show "yes Minister" listening to this drivel being brainstormed and gushing over the bosses brilliant idea.  

[observer90210]

Now would this mean real road deterrence and impartial enforcement by the BiB, or just extra deployment of the BiB for extra holiday tea money ?

[peperobi]

It sounds like a bad marketing limited to 21 days of the year....

[Ron19]

A nonsense off topic post insulting thai people has been removed.

Any repeat of that is worth a holiday.
