BANGKOK, 5 October 2018 (NNT) - The Ministry of Interior has prepared road safety measures for New Year 2019. 

Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda chaired a meeting of a committee to discuss a road safety campaign for the New Year holiday and review the road safety campaign during the Songkran holiday. 

The committee discussed the integrated plan for road accident prevention during the New Year holiday by promoting the public awareness of traffic rules and considerate manners for fellow motorists. 

The campaign will be run alongside strict law enforcement by all related sectors to minimize the number of road accidents. 

The road safety plan will be adjusted and proposed to the cabinet for approval, and will be used as a guideline to ensure all road safety campaigns will be carried out in the same direction.

smooth words, neither has any chance

Do you ever get that feeling of déja-vu?

 

Good luck with that. Two things they forget though are that most road users don't give a toss about anything and also you can't fix stupid.

Same shit, different year ! ????

What's so special about the holiday? The accident rate is about same as any other day.

A year round road safety campaign on tv to be run during the soaps would ensure most people would at least see it. Everyday about 70 families have to suffer the death of a loved one.

Given that every single road safety campaign they have ever run has been an abject failure, I am wondering what they are going to do this time, that is different, and won t be totally ignored as has clearly been the case to date.

All ending up in the emergency ward, or the morgue.

 

Here we go again, yet another road safety campaign.

Nothing will change, more people will get killed, nobody ever learns, just do the same as every other year, result CARNAGE.

how about another  tv commercial like that childish Chirstmas joke of a comercial

Well you need something,  however , its no use campaigning at special times of the year you need all the year round blitzing until the message get through, I'm on the roads for the next three weeks here and so far I've seen nothing but shocking road practices and enormous amounts of trucks on the Bkk - Phitsanulok - CM Hwy , however from what I've seen, Thai driving skills hasn't improved over the past two years or so and I doubt if they will ever improve drivers mature responsibility.

It's a holiday for the police so they can sleep behind a laptop in a tent all day.

 

Why they only care for new year? It's a serious mess on the roads EVERY DAY!

Oh . . . hold me up, somebody. I'm either going to burst into tears or laughter or, more probably throw-up, at yet another of these half-hearted and totally good-for-nothing-but-the-trash-can sound bites; this time from the Junta's long-sleeping Minister of the Inferior, as Anupong says "Hello everybody . . . I'm still here, even though I do <deleted>-all for my millions."

Off topic posts have been removed.

Same as last year.....and the year before.....and the year before.....and the year before....and the year before....and the year before....and the year before.....and the year before....and the year before....and the year before.....and the year before.....and the year before......and the year before......

This will just be a cut and paste from all the previous years. Police will be making effective use of chicken essence and nasal inhalers. Dancing police muppets will also be used. 

Drunk - crush car

No license - crush car

No Insurance - crush car

Speeding - 3000 baht and crush car if not paid in 28 days

Faulty brakes - crush car

No Helmet - crush bike

Driving on the wrong side - Crush Car

I sense a theme

 

why wait for the holidays? Everyones too drunk and dead by then. 

No shrtness of genius ere...

Remember seeing such 'Headlines' when i first arrived 12 years ago.      Flogging a Dead Horse comes to mind !

Firstly, educate the traffic police to be aware of traffic rules.  A large percentage consistently fail random exams.

Ohhhhh here we go again, yet another road safety campaign that will fall on deaf ears around the nation...

You would have thought the message by now would have got back "upstairs" that campaigns don't work!! 

Start by getting the traffic police to become pro-active in enforcing the traffic rules

I found their campaign ad

Chicken feet soup to choke them to death instead????

As obvious as that approach is, Saladin, it comes up against that seemingly impossible requirement for the higher ranks, of instructing their officers to get off their bottoms and into their beautiful traffic cars and to 'do' drivers for speeding, wrong-laning and kamikaze overtaking . . . in short, like you say, to do a bit of enforcing. You'd think that the traffic cops would get something of a kick out of finishing the shift, with a few idiots 'educated'.

Better, for sure, kannot, than the lame-sounding platitude, heading this piece, which would require the subject to switch his/her attention from Facebook for half-a-minute . . . fat chance of that, but that gun might just penetrate the grey matter.
