Popular Post webfact Posted December 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2019 Merry Christmas from the Thai police! No checkpoints on main roads Picture: INN news The Thai police have promised not to set up checkpoints on main Thai roads from tomorrow - Christmas Day - until after the New Year holidays. They want to ensure that traffic flows smoothly, said assistant commissioner Pol Lt-Gen Damrongsak Kittipraphat. Huge numbers of travellers are expected on the roads, most going home for the New Year holidays. INN mentioned the Mitraphap (Friendship) Highway and Route 304 in particular in their report. But Lt-Gen Damrongsak cautioned that this did not mean that alcohol checkpoints would not be set up. These would be done at night on secondary roads on 27-28th December and January 1st -2nd, he said. (The report did not mention why 29-31st was not included). Though checkpoints are off the main roads the police still plan a large number of help points (2,530), emergency response posts (1,869) and those alcohol checkpoints (1,909). In addition police will be stationed at accident blackspots and will be engaged in vital areas to ensure extra lanes are opened up to ease traffic flow. All roadworks will be shut meaning that extra road space is available as well.

Misterwhisper Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Excellent idea. Now the drunkards can use the big highway instead of having to sneak their way home through a confusing maze of winding, unlit back alleys as usual.

djayz Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) In all honesty, I don't think it's going to make any difference. They do sweet xxxx all any other time of the year, so why bother now? Their presence on the roads deter very, very few people from drinking, speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road, dangerous overtaking, driving vehicles which are not road worthy, etc., etc., etc. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all.

Redline Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 There must have been a revolt about having to work, so they came up with the dummy cardboard idea, and now this! They should raise the speed limit today as well. I would also tax non alcoholic beer immediately because eliminating fake drunks is important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should not be any checkpoints at all, if other countries can do without them, why can't Thailand? Don't bother to answer that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psimbo Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Why would they highlight Christmas anyway- this is Thailand , not the West? The 7 days of danger is aimed at a local level around NEW YEAR- Western quasi religious festivals are irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
