Very realistic.

 

Nothing will change, same as the helmet enforcement ( or lack thereof ).

It's a start, and maybe after couple years, they'll actually make a difference.  Sadly public trans vehicles are a big part of the problem.

 

Helmet enforcement does work, during the day when enforced.  When I lived in Udon Thani area, go into town, and daytime, it was 90 vs 10% helmets worn.  After 1st shift, and PoPo done for the day, it was 10 vs 90% helmets off ... ????

The Pollution Control Department (PCD),

The police

The Department of Land Transport

 

So judging by the above it must be true !!!!!!!!!! LOL. :giggle:

Of course, worst offenders are the ancient GOVERNMENT buses that ply Bangkok's streets. They were old when I arrived in 91.

 

EDIT I should also add that much of the worst air pollution can't even be seen with the naked eye

PCD chief Attaporn Charoenchansa said that his department had already checked 25,000 vehicle in Thailand since the start of the year. 

 

However, only 100 drivers had been ordered to take their vehicles off the road

Lies Lies and statistics!  100 out out of 25,000?!!!  EVERY road round Pattaya is polluted by ancient, unserviced, diesels.  At 6K a throw, Pattaya Plod could pay off the National debt if they could be persuaded to leave their offices.

So all the Isuzu dmax pick-ups that have been tuned will soon be paying fines.

Usually get some isuzu boy racer  thinking he is in a Ferrari flooring his sh7tty dmax and have to wait for the black smoke to settle just to see he is still just in front of me.

Warn, threaten, implore, plea  advise, caution, cajole, appeal, repeat, ignore. No enforcement, no consequence, no matter.
