WeekendRaider Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 next thing they will enforce driving on the left. but that encompasses folks "driving" their car.... while playing with their "smart" phones and might have to look up occasionally for motorcycles. fat chance of that so we can guess that one won't be enforced. no matter how often they lecture to drive on the left. but you'd have to watch the traffic then. and also teach everyone to not make U turns at controlled intersections. notwithstanding that U turns are quite dangerous no matter where they are done. in fact, especially well faraway from any intersection from what I can tell. but hey, that's just me. someone who has never had a serious "accident" in any kind of vehicle in 63 years and have done tons of driving just about everything with wheels.

When we bought our car I couldn't wait to get our regular plates fitted. So if you run a red light whilst pi..ed, at speed with red plates...... how much fine?

Pedrogaz Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 This is like the TM30....don't bother fine the owner of the property as the law defines, but fine the user. This us the dealers who want to keep your registration money for as long as possible. That said....this is hardly a major problem on our roads. Why not focus something to get the death toll on the roads down a bit???? How difficult is it to prioritise road deaths over all the other junk that is not enforced.....if it kills people its important...get it????

Nothing if the camera catches your red plate as it's not actually registered to you, also pretty safe bet the dealership won't have filled out the logbook to state that it's on your car.

DrTuner Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 The usual Thai MO: Car dealer breaks the law by promising to handle the plates within time frame - does not, owner ends up paying. Welcome to Thailaaannn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in Germany I went and registered a used car, after getting papers walked to next door license plate shop where they pressed new plates for me, I waited for some time for the paint to dry and off I went bolting them on the car, done and dusted. Ain't rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwill Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 It took over 3 months to get the plates for our car. But the wife wanted certain numbers on the plate. So we had to wait for those numbers to come up. I believe Bangkok is the only Jungwat that does this. This was not for numbers that are auctioned.

richard_smith237 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 With my last two cars and last two motorcycles I processed the application for a number plate myself... Its a simple enough process and ensured I had plates on my vehicles within about 3 weeks, I could also chose my own number (within reason, not the pretty ones). The dealerships wait and process a load of plates at the same time, which could be next month or the month after, depending on when they want to go through the process... It's just simpler to get it done yourself. That said - the threat to crack down on red plates is a common one. I'm not sure why the system cannot be simplified with registering the cars on the day they are purchased and leave the garage - there is no need for this red plate rubbish at all.

You know thai love to show off. And I can not help but wonder if the whole red plate saga was created especially to make one feel “special “ with red plates allowing them to show off they just bought a car. Surely registering car and a plate should not take more than a few hours if that. saying that, why they keep making such a farce about red plates? Car is registered , tax is paid , so why all the brown books bs, no driving after 6pm and all that <deleted> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searat7 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 They should give out 10 day cardboard plates when new cars are purchased. If a car cannot be properly registered within that time period something is seriously wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 My students used to say the plate was red because of the blood new drivers generate. I saw a mint green plate just this morning. Anyone know what that's about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
