BANGKOK — If you’re stopped by traffic police, don’t whip out your phone and show them a digital driver’s license touted by transport officials just yet. Police said Tuesday they would not recognize digital driver’s licenses until a legal amendment is in place. Failing to show physical driving ID will result in a fine per the current laws, Maj. Gen.

When people get a 'digital licence' all it means is they still get issued with a normal licence, but it will have a QR code on the back of it. So for the present, they just still need to take the real licence(s) with them: 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramdas Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Wouldn’t it be nice if not correct and fair to everyone if their laws apply to Thai people as well ?! There wouldn’t be so many accidents on the roads ( expect for break failure naturally Lol ) All of them would have to wear the helmet and prohibited from carrying their entire family on the motorbikes, not jumping red lights, no driving the wrong way creeping up at you whilst riding/driving oh forgot to mention having the so called Thai motorists take a proper driving course both theoretical and driven on the roads plus getting rid of all these polluting busses, trucks and whateve ryou May find on the roads ????????♂️ And how about imposing M.OT to everyone ? I would also pester them with tv alerts about dangerous driving on Thai roads and least but not last doing driving campaign ( where the suitable cops get involved ) On the roads while they’re at it ?! i very much dubt all of the above mentioned will ever happen here until then the coffin families business will only get richer ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
