Jonmarleesco Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 'Prawit ... said the authorities would also launch awareness campaigns about drunk driving, use of safety belts and wearing helmets.' Awareness campaigns? If they're not aware of the legal requirements by now, they never will be. Perhaps Prawit should be ordering the RTP to enforce the law - but, hey, that could prove an embarrassment. 'The Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department said the death toll was down 11.76 per cent from 2016.' They must be counting natural causes. They are obviously better at mitigation than prevention - especially when it comes to responsibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmarleesco Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 He could always go back to the old pick-up truck ban. But that would mean the government using common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhonchai nick Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Whatever they come up with it MUST be fully enforced. Those caught speeding, drunk, drugged up etc must be severely punished. None of these nonsensical 2/300baht fines. or having to spend time in an accident hospital. Minimum 3 months in prison + confiscation of the vehicle. Let them be warned in advance and every day on prime time TV No excuses and no favouritism shown to VIPs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkidlad Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I remember when I first moved here and girls would call me handsome. Boy, did I love that. I rarely heard anyone say that to me back home. Now, I literally feel nothing if I hear it. Why? Because it doesn’t mean anything. And as the PM tells whomever is listening that agencies must work together to reduce the death tolls, they’ll also feel nothing. In one ear........ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont happen though because it means tackling the corruption that allows laws to be flouted almost with impunity. I have said it a thousand times but nothing can progress under an administration that treasures and fights to maintain the status quo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSF Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Only one thing will reduce the Songkran carnage, get it off the roads. Have Songkran festivities held in provincial parks, fitness parks, temple grounds, designated streets that are closed to traffic. But no more drunken hooligans driving around in pickups, no more throwing buckets of water at passing motorcycles.

Cake Monster Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 There is only one way to reduce the death toll on Thai roads during Songkran that will work. That is to abolish Songkran altogether, and keep the people from having a holiday, thus keeping them working at their jobs instead of getting rat a#*ed and driving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Italian guy Posted March 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) I'm really tired to read the same news every holiday. Same announcements, same outcomes: frustrating! Last time they tried with the great idea of distributing chicken extract... This time they might try distributing som tam puu plara, no, better yet... why not placing a Buddhist monk for every km of road praying, chanting and handing out amulets? I'm sure it'll work wonders!
