Toot toot toot! I don't think its quite like that, The police are not particularly enamoured with Prayuth and his military administration. The "senior officer" making this announcement is only carrying out instructions issued from a higher authority. Lets be honest the only people they will catch are the ones stupid enough to do it in the vicinity of a police station or check point. He's just paying lip service to his superiors and ensuring that a perceived dissent is at least seen to be outlawed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bothered to read the article you'd know that the police didn't comment on that, it was Asean Now, in their wisdom, that "noted" it.

He didn't you are quite right , but i'd made the connection the minute I heard the words "viral craze" and three fingers I didn't need Asean now to spell it out. Of course I may be wrong, but I think the guy was instructed not to mention any words like "dissent " or "protest" This has been seen as something with the potential to develop and they want to nip it in the bud , Doing so under the guise of health and safety is, in my opinion, a sad attempt to hide what is effectively removing peoples right of protest.. Are you not a little surprised the general has issued such a statement expressing "his safety concerns" for a few minor miscreants and highlighting the dangers of "losing control whilst sounding ones horn " yet wasn't that moved to take the opportunity to spell out a few other more common dangers on the roads, and his promise to come down as firmly on drunk drivers and on other such people and practices who endanger the lives of other people every day was notable by its absence too Can't blame em really I think they'd really rather not have to get the tanks out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a place on The Isle of Man where, as one drives through, for luck, you have to wave at the fairies..... there is a place in Pattaya too but it is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
