bluesea Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 SHAME SHAME SHAME , How embarrassing in the eyes of the world , 5,000 caught for Drink Driving , 410 fatalities oh Good news!!! The Minister should resign with these Statistics and Introduction of Booze busses which should be in Operation 365 days per year to catch these scumbags who cause accidents and maim poor innocent people minding there own business. Impound every Vehicle of a Convicted Drink Driver for the time of the Court penalty 1st offence. 2nd Offence Impound the vehicle then Crush the vehicle, 3rd offence 5 years Daily Community Service. That may fix the problem other than Educate offenders which will never happen as long as my Arse points to the ground!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boedog Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Road toll is good news <deleted> they are pleased with the fact less accidents don't worry about the other bit more deaths, there is no deterrent for drink driving, drugs, and speeding pointless taking there license so many don't have one, wake up Thailand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RotBenz8888 Posted January 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2019 410 is a bit more than Utah beach 1944 though, if comparing war zones. A landing craft in ww2 or a taxi in Thailand 2019, what would be the safest choice? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It's not about 410 dead Somchais; consider how many families and companies are affected, how much hardship is brought to thousands by sheer ignorance of .... those dead. You want to bring this figure down - seriously - then you have to strictly enforce the law. Confiscate all vehicles and keep them at the point of confiscation for two weeks. Then get the one caught in person to collect the car against a payment of B 10K, for every day late charge another B 500. This on cases between 0.5 - 1.0 o%. Exceeding 1.0 o% double the fee and keep the drunk fellow in custody for 48 hours. Wonder if this would not work; would bring in millions of Baht which could be used to pay for the three submarines this country so urgently needed ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHTel Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Until the police get off their fat backsides, get out of their cozy tents in these ridiculous roadblocks, and get themselves on the road to enforce traffic laws, then nothing will change. But of course that means the police having to work!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words don't fail me Colin. This is Thailand. Most Thais do not have the brains for any education, your'e wife and mine being exceptions, you can see it all around you and not just on the roads. You could never educate most Thais in how to use the roads in a million years. Crushing the cars and motorbikes of the drunk driving morons is the only way the road fatalities will decrease, and we all know that will never happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
