Which traffic offenses go on criminal record in Thailand?

 

I know that in other countries certain traffic offenses are criminal, whereas others are not.

 

How about in Thailand?

 

Suppose you get into a car accident and you are considered at fault, you'll get a fine for: careless/reckless driving (with causing injury to others in some cases).

 

I know in some countries you get a criminal record for that.

 

How about going through a red light or speeding?

An off topic post about traffic offenses in the US has been removed as well as a reply.

More serious offences like drinking and driving go to court so convictions would be recorded. Going through a red light and speeding are fixed penalty. In other words, similar to the West.

The recent revelations of traffic police extortion activities may have temporarily upset the established procedure.

However, for minor infractions you should still have an envelope at hand. More egregious violations may require presenting the business card and making a call to a RTP or political VIP.  If drunk, refuse breathalyzer and feign stroke or heart attack.

True, unless they Know Who You Are, then it is somewhat different.
