PHUKET: A senior figure at the Phuket Land Transport Office (PLTO) has issued a reminder to drivers that the nationwide points system for moving violations comes into effect today (Dec 1).

 

Kornpitak Asanasuwan, head of the policy division at the PLTO, explained to The Phuket News today that initial enforcement will be focusing on delivery transport drivers and drivers of public transport vehicles only, including truck, van and motorbike delivery drivers as well as tuk-tuks, taxi, bus and passenger van drivers.

 

“Before the introduction of the new rules today, we held training sessions to inform operators, including public drivers and transport vehicles,” Mr Kornpitak said.

what would be the cost to redeem some of these points, similar to airlines & hotels (to buy points) ?

As if it's going to make any difference.

 

Is that the sound of people quaking in their boots I can hear?

Another BIB traffic scamming scheme commences…..politically presented as “increased road safety” of course….might even work ….for a week ….
