Andrew65 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Why not just do this kind of thing all the time? Not just during public holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 12 years of payments left on it, that's quite a harsh punishment... So the owner stops making his payments to the bank and when they come to repossess it…. ???? ????

No insurance either In theory you are correct, but nor do the countless drivers who have never taken a test and have insurance that would be void 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banning alcohol would not affect me but banning vehicles would. Therefore, in my view, it will have to be the alcohol that gets sacrificed, I can't agree with something that would impact my lifestyle. ????????

rudi49jr Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thailand, hub of crackdowns. Deep sigh. Why not do your job year round? That would eliminate the need for all those crackdowns, because if the RTP did their job like they are supposed to, people would know there’s a fair chance they’d get caught drink driving or committing other travel offenses. Now they know there’s about zero % chance of getting caught. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a civil debt and that’s why repossession (which you’ve now made impossible) is the normal course of events. The car is still effectively owned by the lender - so it’s their property you’ve destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just hope this is the First Step to make changes............I know, I am the Eternal Optimist..........but if the start putting people in jail, and they start losing their jobs, and can't pay for their cars - moto's - Insurance goes up, maybe they will learn. Right now they can just get a ticket and pay the fine, or bribe the cop. It's gonna take the cops to start taking bribes as well (did I see hell freeze over) Peace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
