Developed-in-Thailand road watch system catches lawbreakers, saves money

[adamaa]

What an absolute load of Rubbish.

Australia and other countries have had that technology for years.

They have camera,s monitoring stolen cars, Unreg and uninsured vehicles for a long time now.

They have a new device that will detect if you are on your mobile phone while driving and take photo of you and your Number plate.

They don,t do change lane offences because it is not a major cause of road fatalities.

There main objective is to improve there death toll every year,

Here will be to collect revenue money. Sad.

 

Its a well known fact that Police issuing a ticket on the street has more effect on other motorists than any speed or change lane camera ticket they receive in the post.

What? Can't change lanes? Of course, that's why they have to stay in the outside lane all the time.

On the ring road up here in Chiang Mai, they have a big 

set up over the road,with a speed read out for each of

the 4 lanes,its supposed to take photos and a fine issued

if you exceed the 90 Km speed limit. 

Today I drove under it doing 80 Km ,but the sign said 47 Km,

another system developed in Thailand ?

Going home I drove through one on  the main road near white temple , It said I was going 85 , when actually I was doing 70.  .

Poor reporting. They forgot to mention the system cures ebola virus, prevents flooding in BKK, whitens penises and saves whales.

Too bad it’s old and imported technology,

It seems Thailand is full of liars, even in the universities

Hey, they bought used textbooks and didn't look at the edition date.

[Damrongsak]

Cameras lie. Hey, I wasn't more than 59.

An excellent initiative, resulting in even less actual policing by the bib... something that most would have thought impossible..... and so the carnage continues. 

 

I wonder if they wonder about that... lol... silly me, they handed out an award for this stupidity.

I must say that did me laugh, replacing old dummies with new dummies

the dummies are called key stone

It is ILLEGAL to undertake, according to the laws of the road....by every one still does it !!

Agreed BUT...

 

"They have camera,s[sic] monitoring stolen cars, Unreg and uninsured vehicles for a long time now." - falls more into 'revenue raising' than reducing the road toll.

Very bad news. This means less manned checkpoints, less tea money. ?

i think the tea money system finally also will fade in thailand....people have more wealth an education nowadays and everybody has a camera..docial media plays another part...so it will fade in the end

the police tend to be some of thw worst drivers, I have had to undertake police many times on toll ways and even country roads such as the bkk to hua hin type,  they sit in the third lane, doing a crawl , not even attempting to reach speed limit.

 

life is too short to wait, best would be to put them down like dogs, but not in thailand I guess , maybe in thailand the phrase would be put them down like immigrants from surrounding countries that are not as high in status compared to thai people.

[trianglechoke]

Is it so bad to deserve this lashing guys????

 

Although it is BS about who invented or developed it................. I don't mind speeders getting fines, eventually when people get sick of paying them, they might drive more slowly.... I know I did.
