Got to love a system that works, finally

Delinquent traffic fines now integrated with vehicle tax renewals  

 

"Unexpected traffic fines surprise vehicle owners at tax renewal in Prachuap Khiri Khan"

 

I guess I'll no longer be the slowest car on the road 

A year+ late, they should add on interest also

This system seems like a good Idea.. except when people get a fine .they not tax the car or bike.. no tax means no insurance. And when they sell the car or bike the new owners tries to do the right then and taxes it and he has to pay the fines and back taxes... So the person trying to do the right way gets penelizied..... So really its making the roads more unsafe with none tested cars and bikes on the road.

I'm experimenting with a crazy scheme.

Don't laugh.

It's called follow the traffic regs and don't get any tickets.

Stop laughing!

Only the lowest of owners/drivers will not tax, insure & register their vehicles.    As now in the system, so next checkpoint, without the window badge, they'll get pulled aside and hopefully, not be allowed to leave till they pay up.

Only an idiot would buy a car without checking the book and notice no tax has been paid for years.

That would work "hopefully" - except that the driver will often pay an on-the-spot  "fine" of 200/400 baht and go on his way. TiT, and I don't think it will change any time soon (unfortunately).
