Thailand Boosts New Year's Road Safety with Tougher Drink-Driving Penalties
Picture courtesy: Siam Rath The Thai government is set to increase penalties for drink-driving, as part of a broader effort to reduce road accidents during the upcoming New Year festivities. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, Suriya Jungrungreangkit, announced the initiative at the launch of the “Safe New Year, Together for Safer Roads” campaign on 26th December. Reflecting concerns over rising accidents from drink-driving, distracted driving, and general disregard for traffic laws, the Ministry of Transport aims to revise legal penalties, making them stricter to deter such behaviours. This move follows worrying statistics from last New Year's period, which saw 284 deaths and 2,307 injuries. Anticipating a 12.99% increase in public transport usage during the ten-day holiday period from 27th December to 5th January, the ministry is coordinating with various transport departments to ensure public safety. Approximately 2.3 million trips are expected nationwide, with measures in place to enhance security and efficiency across all modes of transport—land, rail, water, and air. Minister Suriya stressed the importance of seamless and safe travel, urging all transport sectors to ensure vehicles and personnel are well-prepared. Public buses in Thailand, which see the most use, will undergo strict readiness checks, including limits on driver working hours and health assessments to prevent fatigue-related accidents. Furthermore, unresolved issues such as malfunctioning railway barriers are being addressed with local governments to minimise accident risks. The ministry's goal is for New Year travel, particularly via public transport, to be accident-free. Suriya reassured the public of the ministry's commitment to safety and convenience, drawing on past experiences to enhance service delivery and integration across all transport networks. This, he hopes, will ensure a safe and joyful New Year celebration for everyone travelling across Thailand, reported Siam Rath. -- 2024-12-27 -

Started walking for exercise, but.....
Take this as a warning to every one usually just sitting and do not move much! Start walking! Start walking in stairs and steep hills. Find a Buddha near you, they often have a lot of stairs. Get lots of collagen. Google nutrients for your joints. -

Is Earth round or flat❓
24 hour sun. As for only certain areas being accessible this on the whole is true but because it's very dangerous. Fairly sure that the 350 odd people who have been to the South Pole aren't plebs and also fairly sure that the 4000 odd people working in Antarctica annually also aren't plebs. Every summer they will see a 24 hr. sun and if they're there in winter they won't see the sun at all. Of course in your mind this doesn't happen and is some sort of giant conspiracy. -
