webfact Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Bangkok: Report abandoned vehicles and get half the fine - there are hundreds in the capital Source: Sanook The Bangkok governor Gen Aswin Kwanmuang has ordered a crackdown on abandoned cars left on the capital's streets and in public places. So far more than 500 have been identified. Yesterday the general's deputy Sakonthee Patthiyakun was in the Chatuchak area inspecting operations with other officials including the Pahonyothin police. Many abandoned cars in all parts of the city have already been moved by the owners and the authorities after notices were put on the vehicles. Fifteen day notices are put on them. If they are not moved they are towed away. If the owners come to claim them they are fined 5,000 baht. Half of this goes to the member of the public that informed the BMA in the first place. If the vehicles are not collected after six months they are sold with the money going to public coffers. Some 337 of 526 vehicles have so far been cleared off the streets. Of these 333 were moved by the owners themselves after warning notices were posted on them. Sanook reported that the presence of abandoned cars causes traffic problems and other crime to occur.

No one... the car will be removed and sold at auction - proceeds going to public funds. Again, minor issues being addressed major issues being glanced over. Deal with DUI, helmets, unsafe driving with a serious unwavering & consistent response & effective policing. These minor issues then take care of themselves 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2long Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 There will be a lot of people finding and reporting abandoned vehicles, and looking forward to 2,500B... but of course if someone else got there before them, it's too late and they have no idea. Let's hope they don't plan on and pre-spend a windfall that might never come! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious solution, but with an obvious flaw - it involves actually doing something rather than talking about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
