Could be misconstrued ???? A whole nation misconstrues nothing !!!! - everyone knows they can pay a fee to get away with speeding all the way yup to drink driving and then continue to speed, drink drive or do whatever they want with impunity.

There is a rogue plod sits around Soi 94, especially at the top end waiting for Farangs at night. He claims people are driving drunk and demands 1000 Baht. Most people now give him the finger, and say OK lets go to the station............You can guess the outcome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the funniest line I have read for a long time. "I don't WANT to take your money, but I do not have a choice"...... Also they must hate the advent of mobile phone cameras, seems to have severely clipped their wings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post amdy2206 Posted November 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2020 Despite all the adverse comments, I really think it is a step in the right direction. Not fully there, but on the way. Well done for trying to reduce corruption and the way fines are paid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtong Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 13 hours ago, YetAnother said: how will the cops feed their families ????? Guard the gold shop, supervise the soapies, and close the eyes for yaba transports? I guess there is life beyond traffic tea money. That said, any intersection a policeman could give out probably 500 tickets a day for no helmet alone...and another 500 for no license or unpaid insurance...
