I'd venture that between you, you could rack up twenty-four points a year yourself. Sounds like a challenge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coulson Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 3 points for DUI and hit/run? Brilliant. What if you have no license? Carry on.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton Rd Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Pushing for a real driving test to replace the joke one might be a better idea! Also, selling licenses by officials to people who cannot even do 3 simple manoeuvres off road needs to be exposed and stopped. Sack them with no pension and save a few lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody is having a laugh, first a very large portion of drivers here do not have a license. Also ohh mr policeman i got money, ok give me 5000 baht, bye bye. WHAT!!! 5000 baht!! Only ever costs the wife 200 baht a go. If she had to pay 5K I'd push for her to get a licence. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taichiplanet Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I guess then it may work in a way; the cops should be implementing the current laws anyway, having a points system will encourage them to actively pull over people so they can get their red paper handshake.

Anythingleft? Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Start with enforcing the rules that are in place, it seems ridiculous to add more rules when they cannot / will not, enforce what they already have....Suitable punishments that are followed through for all, not just the poor, make the rules applicable to all. A progression into the digital age that captures the vehicle information and sends the failings directly to the driver or owner. This is already here to some degree just expand it and utilise it to eradicate personal involvement and therefore associated corruption. Follow up with the processes in hand already, simplify them and reduce the steps to prosecution, montains of paper work that just locks the systems down. Maybe its just too simplistic an approach, there always seems to be a desire to over complicate everything nowadays...Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lychee Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Police should be applauded for measures to promote road safety.As the cynics on this site have already suggested, there are major impediments to change the existing system. Least of all, a national database system to track every licensee’s current driving record. And yes, I do agree, the proposed points for offenses are woefully inadequate.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that is an issue up to you. But i don't as we all have to pass a very stringent test in our own countries before we get one, also we have to behave on the roads. 25,000 i think is about the level of stupidity here by the Thais on the roads.

HuaHinHim Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 While the penalties are shockingly low when you compare to other countries, they need to be having this discussion and hopefully a good system will evolve to something with adequate penalties. The opposite end of the spectrum where you have rule for combining vehicles and bicycles is getting ridiculous. nothing is perfect but it takes time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 "One point is deducted for offenses such as not wearing seat belts or crash helmets. Two points are deducted for running the red light or driving in the wrong direction, while three points are deducted for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics or a hit-and-run. The points deducted will be reinstated after a period of 12 months." They are not really serious about improving driving habits,or decreasing the carnage on Thai roads,for the most serious offences the penalties are not a deterrent and are a joke really, something needs to be done,and urgently, but this is not it. regards worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeEyedRaven Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I think a serious rethink is needed on the points allocation system. Right now I see no discounts on points awarded for Hi-SOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
