Thailand to Begin Tougher Nationwide Traffic Crackdown

Thailand to Begin Tougher Nationwide Traffic Crackdown

Thai police will move into a stricter phase of traffic enforcement across the country starting April 1. The current “Warning Before Fine” stage ends on March 31 after more than 196,000 warnings were issued through the police ticket system. Officials say the campaign is designed to reduce road accidents by targeting 10 major offences linked to dangerous driving. The earlier phase focused on getting motorists used to tighter rules before penalties were applied more aggressively. Authorities are now urging drivers to adjust their behaviour before the tougher enforcement begins.
