Gsxrnz Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The Thai solution is obvious - convert your truck to a ten-wheeler by removing an axle or two. Pleased the governor has altruistically exempted firetrucks from the ban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) That's just silly. Many businesses close early, before 1900 hrs, or open late, so when are they suppose to get deliveries or ship. That's a pretty small window to operate. Edited May 25 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nakhonandy Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Not a bad idea, transport and businesses will adapt. Quite a few busy cities in the UK have adopted this or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
