Popular Post anchadian Posted March 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2021 Only a published report due to it being a foreigner. Jail time for the German no doubt. If the accused was a Thai, a small fine would be imposed. 19 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post a cop at each corner and stop and fine everyone who runs a red light. Worked back home decades before they even had red light cameras. Only had to do it one or 2 days a month before the public learned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds good, right up until it's you or your loved one in the gaol. For weeks or months on end, because sometimes that's how long it takes to figure out how much any long term care will cost. And if they're making 300 baht a day, how long before they can pay off a 500,000 baht hospital bill- especially if they're in prison and can't even make 300 baht? A life sentence for a second of distraction? Prison time is for deliberate crimes, with intent. Not for accidents. Personally, I had a ton of insurance, including cover for bail money. But it cost me more than many Thai people can possibly afford. Edited March 4, 2021 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
