pi2005ni Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Drafted in from where , they are in Thailand already . Sensation headline grabbing. Extra police deployed on traffic duties would not have had the same impact . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will take the 50% plus who have no licences off the roads, instead of taking a "fine" and allowing them to continue?

Andycoops Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 One of the main problems is that the drivers are drunk before they get behind the wheel, how are the 80000 going to stop that, they're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
