snoop1130 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 The Land Transport Department (LTD) signed an agreement with the Royal Thai Police today (Wednesday), under which LTD officials will collect traffic ticket fines on behalf of the police when motorists and motorcyclists show up for annual car tax renewals. Under this landmark agreement, the two state agencies will link their electronic information systems, particularly the information about traffic violations and traffic tickets issued by the police to traffic law offenders caught by surveillance cameras or by traffic police officers. Police have been trying for many years to get the LTD to help in the collection of traffic ticket fines, as many of people have refused to pay and the police are powerless to deal with the problem.

Surely this would be a nice little earner for a couple of cops to turn up and confiscate the car/bike until all fines and expenses (parking in compounds) are paid?

If a motorist knows they have outstanding fines they are less likely to go pay for road tax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenchamp Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 So if you buy a used car or bike, you might then be in for an expensive tax renewal if the previous owner has accumulated several fines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
