The Royal Thai Police have issued an important reminder for all drivers regarding recent changes in traffic laws, which introduce two significant updates related to traffic fines. These changes, which took effect on October 25, 2023, aim to ensure stricter enforcement of road safety regulations.

 

The first key change involves the extension of the statute of limitations for traffic tickets. Previously, traffic fines had a one-year expiration period, meaning enforcement actions were limited to that timeframe. However, with the new regulation, the statute of limitations has been extended to two years.

 

This extension applies to all traffic tickets issued from October 25, 2023, onward. This means that those who receive a traffic fine now have up to two years in which the fine remains legally enforceable, providing authorities with a longer period to take action.


The second change addresses the consequences for individuals who fail to pay their fines within the allotted time. According to the updated regulation, if a fine remains unpaid after the deadline, the police are obligated to prepare legal documents and submit the case to the court for prosecution.

 

This applies to all cases of unpaid traffic fines, ensuring that non-payment will result in legal proceedings against the offender.

 

The Royal Thai Police are urging the public to follow traffic laws and pay fines promptly to avoid facing lawsuits or additional penalties.
