webfact Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Road traffic fines: New connections mean drivers must pay up! Picture: Daily News The head of the police committee looking into improvements on the Thai roads has said that a new computerized system will mean that more fines will be collected from drivers. The system links up the Royal Thai Police and Department of Land Transport. This will eventually mean that no one will be able to renew tax unless overdue fines are paid. In the past the system has been slapdash with many slipping though the net. IT specialists at the DLT told the RTP on Tuesday that work has been successful said Pol Gen Ekkarak Limsangkat. The government ordered the improvements last year. But despite the upbeat words from Pol Gen Ekkarak some work still needs to be done to ensure there are no loopholes in the new systems, reported Daily News.

Popular Post kannot Posted July 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2018 speeding is by far the dumbest thing to focus on, total lack of attention is what matters. slowing them down to 90 kph it will still be freakin disaster when they pile into the back of a stationary car at traffic lights. Really 90 or 120 aint gonna make any difference. better if they had cameras concentrating solely on tailgating, lane hopping, lane hogging, inattention, mobile phone use, no signals, being a retard, brake failure, brain failure, total failure...............but wait HOLY siht he/she/it was doing 92 in a 90!!! 6 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message will get through a lot quicker that way and no need to chase people to pay fines. They most likely wont own it the bank will That's a valid point. When the police check the owner's details, as you say, it will show up as belonging to a finance company. I'd guess that the loan agreement would stipulate that the 'purchaser' is liable to pay any such fines. If they don't then they'll no doubt lose the car as well as being blacklisted from future loans. A couple of years ago I was caught speeding on camera on Highway 12 (near Lomsak IIRC). The finance company forwarded the fine PDQ. My wife has to pay the loan company in advance for the annual car tax payment, which they pay on her behalf, then mail her the windscreen sticker.
