Motoring offences in Thailand

Featured Replies

May I enquire if anyone knows if the RTP have introduced the 'demerit' scheme for drivers that they announced in the press (Bangkok Post) in January 2023? I have just received a speeding ticket through the post stating that I was clocked at 121kph in a 120kph zone! My speed limiter on my June 2023 delivered car was set at 120kph. In the UK for example the police allow a 10% margin of error for technological error - not in Thailand apparently. Does anyone know how to appeal? Seems a little over zealous to say the least.

Like. u ch in Thailand, I think it depends on where you live. We have had several automatic 'tickets' and not paid them. We were told that when you renewed your registration you would have to pay them, we've renewed more than once and never been asked to pay. So they sit there. I can't say I have lost any sleep over it. As for the demerit system, good luck with that.....anything that involves computers and programs is totally beyond any system that Thais can implement. I must have some demerits, but I'm seriously doubting whether even having a driver's license is worth the effort. I doubt that when mine comes due in 4 years time, I'll renew it.
