rooster59 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Traffic fines: New system begins Sunday 17th December Image: Daily News The head of the new Police Ticket Management system has said that from Sunday people can begin paying traffic fines via bank and ATM machines nationwide. Ekkarak Limsangkat said that each ticket will have a bar-code and a space to itemize the offence. This will no longer be completed in handwriting. Tickets will be in English as well as Thai. Fines can be paid at Krung Thai Bank branches or ATMs in all 77 provinces. The KTB application on mobile phones can also be used. Outlets displaying the "PTM" symbol can also be used though exactly what these are were not specified in the Daily News report. Motorists who receive fines must wait two days from the issuing of the ticket before paying it. This is so that the police have time to enter it on the system. Thereafter the fine must be paid within seven days. You can still pay at police stations in which case you do not need to wait two days. Fines where licenses have been confiscated have to be paid at the station concerned. A 20 baht fee will be levied on fines paid through Krung Thai Bank.

bangrak Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I hope not too much money has been wasted printing these new traffic fine tickets! ...As the 'honest policeman' will, as usually, always ask you whether you want a paper, or you agree to pay right on, in his hand, without ticket (and at a reduced rate, without waste of time)...

Rc2702 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So the police need to be depended on to input fines into the system. That sounds like work so I have little confidence in this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Ray Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Why not any bank/ATM/ 7/11/post office like any utility bill, why only one bank? Why do you have to wait? If you pay using the serial number of the ticket, won’t it get matched up when Constable Somchai gets around to entering the details. I have a payment receipt if there is any dispute. Why doesn’t anyone use a gram of commonsense when they introduce these systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and when you go to the shop, do you still believe that the producer is the only one with profit and the shop is just providing it for free. That is exactly same, just another product.

That sounds like work so I have little confidence in this system. It sounds like work that will keep many at their desk in the AC. So the system will still likely be fed from road blocks and checks during the day which, in Pattaya, appear to be an assault on visiting tourists for not having a helmet or waiting slightly over the line at the lights. Try policing at 8am on a weekend and you could catch hundreds heading into town, 3 up on a bike, not a helmet between them, riding down Sukhumvit, Klang and 3rd with impunity.
