Is this similar to the campaign to crack down on phone usage while driving.....or driving in the wrong direction?

 

One can only hope so.

So the campaign will finish on the 2nd June due to lack of interest or to much hard work for the RTP.......

 

That's the general idea.

Real driving tests on the road would boost road safety more than anything

I wear a helmet not only for my cranium protection but also use a visor to protect my eyes from dirt, dust, and bugs. Also my visor is tinted in order for those bright sunshine days.

 

How many times have you seen a driver using one hand on the scooter while the other is being used as a visor to block the sunshine?

Agree 100%! My wife passed her test first time and had never driven on a main road before - never mind dual carriageways/motorways!!!

The RTP Superiors must think all the people, being Thai and Farlang, who read  this repeat press verbal garbage statement, year after year, believe it will be done and enforced by the RTP. Well unless you have an IQ of 40, we all know it will not happen. 

 

I believe what the Police General Kraibhun Trawadsong, Deputy Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police, is saying, " with regards to increase in fines, that only applies to farlangs as we need more tea money for me and my hard working (oops slack working) RTP.

 

It does not apply to Thais as they will not pay or cannot afford the steep fines, especially the school children.
