snoop1130 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - There are now just a few days until Songkran, and the Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police, Pol. Gen. Suwat Jangyodsuk, held a video conference with top police officials today (Apr 5) to discuss crime and accident prevention measures to ensure travelers’ safety nationwide. Concerning measures to facilitate traffic flow, police officers, together with their vehicles and equipment, are to be deployed to assist travelers, open special lanes on motorways and inform commuters about shortcuts and congested roads to avoid. The officers have to enforce 10 road safety measures stringently. The measures deal with speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road, violating traffic signals, motorists carrying their driver’s license, the wearing of seatbelts, overtaking a vehicle on a narrow road, drink driving, wearing of safety helmets, illegally-modified motorcycles and using mobile phones while driving. In addition, people can contact their local police station to have their homes placed in the care of the police during the 10-day holidays, from April 9th to 18th. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-04-05 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) That must have been where the highway patrol car, which ran the red lights just after they had changed and nearly wiped out 3 motorbikes, was going this morning. I did wonder - there are half a dozen based up here in the frozen north but I haven't seen one for months; don't seem to get many VIP convoys heading up from the airport at the moment, nipping across the border for the casinos and what have you is out of favour for a bit...
