The cops should take a look at the buses and vans in Bkk (and everywhere). Many buses haven't been washed for years, vans the same. 

 

 

As long as the dirt is not affecting the visibility of the vehicles lights or numberplate I don't see why a fine was given. actually sounds like BS to me.

Admittedly the truck was dirty.

Filthy....

In Russia a common fine or written warning.
The license plate must be legible at all times,

how to keep it clean driving in salty sleet is not in the Law.
Also, pieces of paper obscuring part of the plate are gladly fined for.

Think that would apply here as well, although the number of white license plates is getting ridiculous, and I have yet to see someone being pulled over for evading photo-fines.
