I also suspect that if they breathalysed to many drivers they would run out of cells in the police stations around the country.

Captain_Bob Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Why not just stop testing for covid-19 AND drink driving? As famously said by a once-upon-a-time slippery orange POTUS: lest testing = less cases = lower numbers. SUCCESS, we've done a *phenomenal* job! 10 out of 10!

actonion Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Another bright idea, to make it widely know that no breath tests will happen, so they can all go out and get drunk, This is another reason to stay home or be careful where you walk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbbbooboo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hmmm... what a diabolically cunning idea. To cut down on testing for alcohol in a period of the year where there is usually increased alcohol consumption. This will increase road safety......Only in Thailand? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2530Ubon Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) I think the police chief just 'okayed' a scratch and sniff method of alcohol testing rather than using official breath tests. The Thai police are world renowned for being able to spot drunk drivers without breath tests and for always issuing receipts for any fines paid... I smell a brown envelope plan cooking... "Just in time for New Year lads." Is what he said to his officers. Edited December 27, 2020 by 2530Ubon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpy Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Perhaps they should be checking licences, insurance, illegal lights, number plates sprayed over, illegal exhausts, 4 pillion passengers on a bike , overloaded pickups, underage drivers .... the list is endless.. We see pics of hundreds of police saluting their bosses......... what do they do all day.... we never see them around the town..... just forgot...

They're 'working': Checking facebook posts showing photos of thefts in other gold shops, to ensure they recognise the miscreant if they come into their shop. <For the hard-of-learning: The text above may contain traces of sarcasm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They announced there would be no ban on alcohol sales, thereby guaranteeing there will be one, whilst reducing panic buying and hoarding. If there's no alcohol, why waste resources testing. Simple.

Yes, I am suspicious about that too. Seems almost every time there is an announcement that something or other will not happen, or they have no plans to do something, then they mean the total opposite. Just have to wait and see and hope I am proved well by this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
