"Big Traffic" cop agrees with "scaring the public" with huge new fines - it won't mean more in police pockets

People including Thai's and Farang residents know how the system works and will continue working.... don't think we are all fools!!

What's going to happen when just about everyone has a license,

what will the police do to make sure they keep the money 

rolling in,50 % in traffic offences fines,what % of other crimes

do they get like drug busts,shaking down bars,businesses,etc,

etc, thats a huge amount of money,and growing every year,i suspect,

Well Big Traffic you are wrong, you say police will not get more money in their pockets.

I think once the new rules are implemented drivers will be given a choice get a ticket pay 5000 baht or give me 1000 baht and on your way.

You don't want to pay, get a license, problem solved.

This would mean drivers could be fined 50,000 baht for not having a licence instead of the old slap on the wrist 1,000 baht fine and could even go to jail for up to three months. People caught driving while suspended would face similar sanctions.

This is exactly what many members of this forum has complained about for years. Now, when they (the government) are planning to enforce changes, members are still complaining.

What's the matter with you? Wrong man/woman in charge?

"And he said the public needed to be "scared" into obeying the law."

What will it take to scare army generals into obeying the law ?
