Daily News gave examples of how many points will be deducted:

 

Drunk driving: 3 points

Red lights: 2 points

Helmets and speeding: 1 point each

Drunk driving: 3 points OR 20,000 Baht on the spot

Red lights: 2 points      Or 5,000 baht on the spot (Not possible because it will be on camera so it will have to be at the local station)

Helmets and speeding: 1 point each 1000 baht on the spot. 

 

call me a cynic but this is simply to boost the, ahem, economy.

But if you are a HiSo or a " do you know who I am "  0 point :1zgarz5:

 

And as wrote Colinneil, about 40% here don't have a license ( to kill ???? I'm in my James Bond period )

so....

 

I would like to see policemen and radars and breath control on secondary roads ( red and concrete roads which are so many in Thailand )..

I would like to see policemen controlling licenses and helmets between 7 am and 8 am when children come to school ...and verifiing if passengers and driver  have security belts in minibuses ...

But that will never come ...

Red bull boy got a few points, but he can keep his licence. What date does he walk free?..watch out!

Drunk driving: 3 points...……………………..OK, can do 4 times

Red lights: 2 points...…………………...……..Can do 6 times

Helmets and speeding: 1 point each.......Can do 12 times

 

That will teach them!

But to be fair most could probably rack that up in  a couple of hours.

Truly enforce laws ,and stop putting on a big show by harassing drivers at check points..Stop focusing on Drama,appearance and optics and start thinking about sustainable results...

Umm... I think that's what the jist of the OP is, no?
