"but officer , that was an optional red light"

[Bruce Aussie Chiang Mai]

I give her my phone number. She can call me when she goes out. I stay home.

[CharlieH]

Remove the licence, crush the car.

 

She should never have been allowed to reach that number to start with.

[colinneil]

Just shows how pathetic plod are, 200 bloody ridiculous, she should have been sorted out a long time ago.

[darksidedog]

If she says she hasn't got the money to pay the fines, simply lob her in jail where it will be reduced by 500 Baht a day. By the time she gets out she will have a bit more respect for the rules. Its just damn lucky that she hasn't killed anyone yet.

Why are there always the high ranking officers available when pictures are taken?

Colour blindness?  She probably thinks her car is green.

Wow that was a surprise ! I would have loved to see her face when the plod showed up at her house.

 

sharia 200 lashes !

 

Seems she has a good amulet - but with limited power unfortunately 

 

 

[Crusader]

Same old, same old...nothing is ever done that will prevent the same happening again.

[Cake Monster]

Even if this Woman pays off the 200+ Fines, or does a stint in Jail, its very unlikely She will ever change her driving habits at the age of 58.

She has obviously been driving like this from the first Day she got behind the wheel, and it will be too late for her to change now.

[AgMech Cowboy]

But officer, there was no traffic.

[thpitsch]

I saw a pickup truck run a red light the day before yesterday. That must have been her!

Sounds like a good idea, she can work-off the fines at 500 baht per day, like you say when she comes out she might have the notion to take notice of traffic laws.

Mr Plod     "another fail" just laziness.

Her drivers licence should have been revoked after 5 unpaid fines

So where does the problem lay?

With the offender or with a system that simply refuses to enforce laws until a laws has been broken by one individual a couple of hundred times without prior consequences.

And why do I think this guy goes right back on the road in no time flat?

[Rhys]

.. a pattern, first the motorcycle wannabe on the fast bike who decides to run a toll gate and almost looses her head....too bad the Beachhe with an attitude decided to wear her helmet.. and now this 200 plus ticket abuses... and the BIB go after her.. Wow.. what next, going to the rural provinces to capture all the little kids racing their bikes on the roads....

Then what happens.  She is soundly given a tongue lashing, made to wai, pay a couple of thousand THB, and all is well again until she final kills someone?

And what about the 18,000+ (or was in 28,000+) found driving without a license during the New Year holiday. Frightening, isn't it, but hardly surprising in a land where obeying any law is considered optional.

[spiekerjozef]

200 lottery tickets.
