Merry Christmas from the Thai police! No checkpoints on main roads

[Sydebolle]

Well, let the carnage begin then - new heights will be reached for sure. 

I wonder if those people have anything inside their skull? Seriously?

It's one thing to be drunk, lazy and stupid and not patrol the roads...

 

...but telling the Somchais?

 

That's other level stupid.

What about getting into their cars and actually patrol the roads?

All the police are cheering their boss coming out with that statement.

One cop was overheard saying.... Great more time to sleep or get pis++d.????

The title should be: Merry Christmas from the Thai police! For the Thai cops!
What do they still invent to escape work?

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.

 

 

'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).' 

 

Plenty of coppers working, several thousand tasked just to catch drunk drivers.

 

What is the matter with you people's comprehension? Too many long words??

It appears you are living in a dream world.

Only a few months ago, a police boss installed a bell to be rung in the police station every hour, to wake up the sleeping coppers.

How many times on here have we read about a drunken policeman going on a rampage?

A few times, you are the 1 who cannot comprehend things, not the ones of us you are quoting.

How about if they work everyday and pull people over?  Anyway, do you think they will be working?  Do you think these numbers are real?  Do you know how many police there are in Thailand? Do you drive in Thailand much?  You seem a bit uneducated about the real situation ????

how would this make a difference with all the effin roadworks....

I went up Sukhumvit to Pattaya Lang yesterday afternoon and, obvioulsy came back down the road. It was very very busy......and as usual ALL the laneswitchers were out and about....they put the indicator on and JUST expect to be let in..in front of one....I always do MY BEST NOT TO LET THEM in ....they think that because they have indicated they have Buddas god given right to enter YOUR/MY LANE

Lane changing should be banned and CCTV should catch the culprits (of course that is IF CCTV is working)

It really does **SS ME off   !!!!

I must have imagined the Traffic Police roadblock on Sukhumvit on the 26th then...

Yeah! It must be a terrible overload of work to not separate the help points and alcohol checkpoints. To much for a brain to handle at the same time. For most people in the world that is called normality.

Is this news anywhere (all of it really)  if so, this is a sad state of affairs, not just this article.

My father in the USA told me when he was young Police would stop you for DUI and give you and fine and let you keep driving home. 

 

Thailand is so much worse?
