Speeding ticket

[AlfHuy]

Good morning,

 

I got through the post, 2 tickets.

Both from last year December.

One on the way to Koh Chang, the other on the way back.

97 instead of 90

99 instead of 90

 

On this forms are various shops where I can pay.

I went to tops market, they checked. NOOO, can not.

I went to power buy, they checked. NOOO, can not, please go to tops market 5555

 

 

Any idea how I can pay those tickets?

 

Thanks

Just want to do the right thing.

I was too fast and that's it. I probably thought it was 120 permitted.

It's 2 times 500 Baht;

 

I was reading somewhere that if you have outstanding fines, you can't renew your drivers license.

My is due in May.

 

Up to you, there should be a number to call, maybe you can go to the local cop shop and pay it and get a discount, although I would want a receipt ????

Sounds like speeding tickets from highway police with the logo of (sent by!) Krung Thai bank? (on the envelope)

 

And that is the real punishment: you have to pay at this bank (any branch).

Can be terribly crowded but look for a "quick" queue number direct to the teller.

On the back of the page you should have bilingual payment directions?

Only feasible way: see above.

 

December?

What is the due date for payment shown on the tickets?

(one month from posting the ticket)

No, nothing to see from Krungthai bank.

At the bottom right, they give options, where to pay.

B2B, TopsDaily, Powerbuy etc.

 

I went to a few but they checked on their system, played a bit around, asked for my ID number but at the end, they all sent me away and said to try somewhere else.

Ever thought about that they can get tired and give points for things not payed at a later stage? I think that´s why it´s not worth the risk of throwing them in the bin. However, your choice. It´s also every stupid persons choice to feel the need to speed, instead of letting it take the time it takes and hold the speed limit. You will get there eventually. If you need to be at a specific time, the only thing you need to do is leave with enough time to reach your destination without speeding. Quite easy and elementary, actually! ????

Thanks Papa.

97 isn't really speeding, is it?

 

I thought it was 120 allowed and didn't see anywhere a restriction of 90kmh

 

Thanks for the advice.

[AlfHuy]

On the backside of ticket which is actually a A4 paper, it says:

 

.... considered that the owner of vehicle has received ticked 15 days after the above mentioned date ... lol

 

Ticket on 19th december

Received yesterday.

My error

 

at the rear of the paper, bottom left, there's a Krungthai sticker.

Up to you! It your responsibility to check signs and/or know what the speed limit is. In the traffic law and rules it stands what the limit is on specific roads if no signs are provided. You are supposed to read that or know it.

And yes, if it is 90 as a speed limit, then 97 is speeding. That as well as if the speed limit is 120, then 130 is speeding. Sorry, but that is a fact you will find hard to deny. Have a nice day, and don´t forget to pay your tickets. ???? You will save much money on keeping to the speed limits and/or plan your time.

[beet man]

You can pay at the post office. I have done it twice before.

Only place you can pay now is KrungThai bank, also now if you dont pay you will not be able to renew your vehicle road tax.

KTB is also the contact for aged pensions and COVID assistance having lines more than 1km on Monday this week (but that should have been a one-off).

 

As for Thailand not having a points system - starts in two months:

Quote

Thailand's delayed points-deduction system for driving licences should finally be launched in April, said the Department of Land Transport (DLT) on Tuesday. Drivers will start with 100 points on their licence, with deductions varying from 5 points to 35 points according to the seriousness of the traffic offence.Feb 4, 2564 BE

You should be able to pay at Krung Thai bank and also at Thai Post.

Post and responses removed.

 

PLEASE DO NOT encourage or discuss methods of avoiding fines.

[salsajapan]

I guess that everybody will laugh because you want to pay a speeding ticket...

Where are the rules or laws for sleeping at 9 or not take a drink out with someone? Clean your hands and wear a mask is something everyone should take seriously during a pandemic.

You should try to take speeding seriously too, as you might get more tickets to pay. One more thing, speeding is also regulated by law. Something your childish try with bed time ain´t.

Please you make a fuss over nothing. His speed variance was insignificant. Even In jurisdictions of tough enforcement, the police do not ticket  for small variance in speed like this. It was 7% and 10%.

Excuse me, this is the Thai jurisdiction? Right? Let´s see then. Hmmmm....og yes! No, I don´t make a fuss over nothing. It´s the law here. Your 7-10% might be viable in your jurisdiction or in other countries. This is Thailand. Just to accept it.

OK, I see. That sounds different from what I had gotten.

15 days is for "local police" tickets.

Not sure whether you can pay at any police station.

Only occasion where I had this I could pay at the police station that issued the ticket.

Otherwise as written above: post office is the last resort.

Well said. Don't expect endless judicial appeal about calibration of instrument, method of measurement, relative angle, last training course of officers etc. to work.

Yeah, it regards everything in society. It takes a whole lot of years to adjust and get used to it, but when you reach that point it´s like Nirvana. You are suddenly made of steel and nothing sticks on you. ????????

[AlfHuy]

Sorted

 

Went to post office.

Paid 2X 500+15Baht fee.

Total 1030

Thanks for feedback.

Post office usually quite relaxed.

Fee at Krung Thai for highway ticket is 20 Baht per payment by the way.

Not sure about that - we’ve had outstanding fines for a few years now...  Never an issue when we renew the tax etc...

 

I wondered when or if the ’tax vs fines’ would be linked or if it really is. 

 

That said... 'cough cough’ - always pay your fines !!!

No need to ignore it. These opinions help others recognise that there are those out there who don’t question anything and blindly conform, believing they are adapting and think they’ve hit Nirvana...  until they start crying when they are driving at 80kmh and get pulled over for speeding in a 90 zone because its on a camera !!!

 

Of course, its easier to roll with the small stuff, but don’t pretend you’ve adapted or have reached some state of nirvana !!... You’re just more prepared than others to take a rogering and smile afterwards !!!

Just an expression my dear Richard, just an expression. Woud you like it shaken or stirred?

Yes, I have totally adapted to the ways in Thailand, and feel at peace with that.

Just one question: How can you get pulled over for driving 80kmh in a 90kmh zone? Why would that be recognized on camera? Moreover, why would anyone cry for people working making a misstake? (Sorry, more then one question. I guess you got the better of me. ???? )
