Or absent minded having a few beers and ending up in the wrong lane or driving over the marker line at traffic lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyril sneer Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Line group sounds like a great idea there's also an app called Waze similar to google maps that would alert you if coming close to a checkpoint, don't think it ever took off in thailand though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bbko Posted February 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2022 If you carry the green book in your bike and a thief takes your bike + the book, he can forge the paperwork and then register the bike in his name. Leave the book at home and only carry a photocopy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are never happy when you produce the plastic licence because it stops tea money, i reckon they don't like new tech which blocks tea money, some people forget the plastic licence.

The use of the online licence defeated that and was likely not expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between thinking "what's the harm" and thinking "I could pass a breath test". Anybody confident, in this age of education and information availablity, about being able to pass a breath test after a large bottle of beer probably has far bigger issues in life to worry about anyway. Of course then there's the whole "I've only had a few/I know my limits" guys who, while more informed (they know they are over the limit and do all they can to avoid police checkpoints), are potentially more dangerous.

It is of course 620ml at 5% alcohol. For many Western countries, 5% would be a strong beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bbko Posted March 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2022 Do you prudes stand outside the bars on Soi Buakow and berate those that had a couple of beers and hop on their motorbike? Get real, old curmudgeons playing the holier-than-thou card are a joke. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
