PHUKET: Police and safety officers have started setting up main checkpoints across the island ahead of the annual ‘Seven Days of Danger’ road-safety campaign for the New Year getting underway at midnight tonight (00:01am, Dec 29).

 

Sophon Thongsai, Chief of the Phuket Provincial office of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM-Phuket), this morning re-confirmed that the target is for Phuket to suffer zero deaths in road accidents during the campaign, which will conclude at midnight, Jan 4.

 

Mr Sophon said he expected Phuket to have far fewer accidents, and hence far fewer people injured or killed in road accidents during the Seven Days, as there are far fewer people in Phuket due to the COVID-19 situation.

No doubt the police will be situated in exactly the same places as they are every year so anyone wishing to avoid them for whatever reason can quite easily do so. Not that the police often bother to get off their <deleted> unless there's a shift change!
