Inderpland Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I have read somewhere that Thailand has started or will start issuing demerit points on your driver's license. Anyone know if it's in force already? I just received a speeding ticket in the mail due to passing a photo box at above the speed limit and the column for demerit points was left blank so was wondering what offences warrant demerit points?

It's one of their latest efforts to improve the standards of driving and promote road safety. The proposed amendment draft to the road traffic law has been examined by the Council for State and is to be forwarded to the cabinet for consideration.

MJCM Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I think it will work, but the major issue is enforcement. - Highway/Motorway/Major Roads high risk of getting caught because of more checkpoints/control. - More rural roads very low risk as virtually no enforcement present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpoint Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 If they are going to remove points based on a speed camera then they will need to prove who the driver was, similar to Malaysia, where the ticket must clearly show the driver's face. Otherwise I could speed across the country in my wife's car and she would lose her license. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
