Couple years back someone I know was accused of negligence after running into someone without a licence that was going the wrong way. Go figure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misab Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 6 hours ago, Farmerslife said: 67,000 driving around with no licence is a pretty terrifying statistic. What's the deterrent? Points on the licence is a non-starter. A ban on driving clearly won't work. A slap on the wrist? A small fine? A now don't do it again, there's a good fella? Impound the vehicle and irrespective of whether the driver is the owner or not, charge a very, very hefty fee for its return. 67.000 is only the ones involved in accidents.

It's not the laws or legal system that is useless, it's simply the enforcement of such laws via the legal system that is useless. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger70 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Nothing to be Happy about . It should be near to Zero. It could be like that IF they put their act together and Enforce the Laws 24/7 All year round . We all know that ain't gonna happen so not to worry they are aiming for the Gold Medal Again.

Stupooey Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 So 'non-functioning lights' didn't make the top 10. Surprising, since at least 25% of motorcycles have no rear lights, and many have no front ones, easy to identify at a checkpoint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added to this is the massive number of " Assistants and helpers " they need The problem is getting them off their A@@@S to do any work. The age old adages still prevails - to serve the commons for the public interests, not dependent or controlled by the over extended mafia groups [government included] that rule the day.

The store was also a family's home and they were eating. They asked me to sit down and eat a little. I had my helmet next to me and told the kids in Thai to wear their helmet every time.... I just said it, maybe because the kids were looking at it. I didn't think about it. When I was leaving the father told his kids (in Thai, of course) not to wear a helmet because it's hot and ......... (hey, my Thais not that good)......and he was pretty strict in letting the kids know that they are NOT to wear a helmet. I acted dumb, smiled. I wonder what happened to those kids.....

Well let's say at 400 baht per offence and there were 336,975 offences that equates to 134 + million baht so as we now 50 % of this goes into the corrupt RTP's back pockets I would suspect he is more than happy, not to mention their Mia Nois who will also benefit no doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
