Seanbhoy Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 paid 100baht to a police officer under the table on Monday for using a road a motorcycle shouldn't really use, obviously I have no evidence of it as it was to avoid getting a ticket - happy days Problem, about 300 meters further up on vihawadi rangsit road there was a proper police check point who stopped me again, they wouldn't accept money and issued me a ticket for using the wrong road (just unlucky, 1000s of bikes use the road everyday) the same road I had just paid the 100b, I explained and he said no ticket no evidence (I'm pretty certain that's what he said) - he said go to work and bring the ticket to the police station and get your license back. The fines 500b - someone's telling me I can haggle? is this true? if I explain to the officer at the station again, you think he will believe me and just gimme it back?

No they have 3 types of roads, toll way - obviously no motorcycle. Highway for all traffic or highway for cars only. usually I just don’t stop but sone silly twonk infront of me was dithering so it would be to blatant if I sped off. i never ever stop for them cos it’s money every time, or if you done nothing wrong it’s like 10 minutes of <deleted> around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiLai Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Why bother to get the licence back? My wife drives with no license, tax, insurance or helmet, says they will fine you no matter what, so might as well save on all the unnecessary expenses and just pay the 'instant fines'. Tickets they issue are just thrown.You’re wife has a typical Thai attitude - zero logicSent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Why not just pay the 500 Bt. and write off the 100 Bt. You want to haggle about the 500 Bt. and admit to an offence of bribeing a police office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) You’ll have to pay the 500 Baht to get your license back. But…while at the police station you can fill out the simple one page refund form (just ask for one) explaining the misunderstanding...and the police will be happy to refund your initial 100 Baht.

natway09 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 For heavens sake, go pay your 500 & get your licence back. Why the big fuss?

alien365 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 You drove on a road you shouldn't have been on. Rather than complaining about the fine why not stop breaking the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Explain again at the policestation and they may arrest you for corruption. Very simple, you were caught riding illegally, so pay the fine at the policestation and get your license back. And shut up about illegal activities you committed.

simoh1490 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I shouldn't have to accept this ticket because I just bribed one of your officers five minutes earlier not to give me one - that should go down well, why not add that you're on overstay and working illegally also, just to be certain!

Your dear wife is just stupid & just sums up some of the social issue problems that exist until their little mindsets can be changed i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt there as it was not me who mentioned anything about my wife or family but i do think you are treading on very thin ice to who ever you are talking about. my wife doesn't ride a motorcycle and not because of class difference or that she has a driver or a car - just because she thinks its dangerous. I think you owe the person an apology who you are talking too, as if it was me id be a little upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can twist and turn as much as you like and make all the excuses and claims but at the end of the day the RTP have your license and all the advise that everyone is giving you is to go and pay the fine and get your license back and to keep your mouth shut or you will end up in more trouble so do not get smart with them because you did bribe a police officer.

Peterw42 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I have found the "pay now " option has all but disappeared, people have dash cams, phone cams etc and the police know it. I can see the OPs point though, he paid the good old fashioned "pay now" option and it wasn't honered up the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
