Reading the link, the amount of motorists issued fines for moving violations is very impressive. I need to reverse my thinking about the efficiency of the local police. Well done RTP.

 

Now if there is 100% follow up on payment of fines, and year round policing of the roads, not just special holiday periods, Thailand could even lose it's No. 1 ranking!
