Son of a Friend got busted for Drink Driving on a Motobike a while ago at night. Had to stay the night in jail, morning go to Court and his Fine (because first offense) was 3000 THB. If he is caught the 2nd time it will be much harder and also has to do community service. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they tested a hundred drivers, they might have found one sober. The odd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHangingJudge Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Either poor reporting or poor policing it couldn’t be both could it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only arrested the drivers, it was hard to determine who actually was driving and which of the other nine on the motorcycle were simply passengers.

Banana7 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The photo shows a perfect example that the cops turn a blind eye to traffic violations, not wearing a helmet while driving a motorcycle. 2 motorcyclist and a passenger have no helmets in the photo.
