Mass Traffic Violations Recorded as New Year Travel Peaks

Thai police revealed they logged a massive 157,624 traffic offences in just two days during the New Year holiday road safety campaign, with almost 3000 drink driving incidents reported over the full five-day holiday. The enforcement push is part of an annual effort to curb crash risks when roads are busiest, with officers deployed along major routes and at accident-prone spots. A large proportion of the cases involved the top ten common driving violations identified by authorities. Senior commanders called for motorists to stay alert, follow instructions, and ensure vehicles are roadworthy. The police also urged rest breaks to help reduce fatigue-related incidents as celebrations continue.
