Popular Post george Posted August 9, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2012 SATIRE Police Launch New EZ-Bribe Card For Motorists BANGKOK: -– Drivers in the capital will now enjoy the convenience of paying bribes to police electronically, according to a new system unveiled by the Bangkok Metropolitan Police yesterday. The EZ-Bribe card is modeled after the EZ Pass that motorists have been using to pay tolls without having to stop. Similar to the EZ Pass system, the EZ-Bribe card is a stored value card that instantly deducts the price of a single-trip police bribe from the user’s account whenever the car passes a police checkpoint. To accommodate the new system, police checkpoints will now have a dedicated EZ-Bribe lane, where member motorists can drive straight through. Those without an EZ-Bribe sticker on their windshields will have to use the manual lanes and haggle over bribes in the traditional manner. Opening promotional prices have been set at Bt100 per private passenger car, Bt60 for pickup trucks, Bt30 for motorcycles, and Bt200 for any vehicle carrying a Serpico sticker. Luxury cars costing over Bt12 million, such as the Mercedes S500 and the BMW 7 Series will, as always, be exempt from all bribes, interference, and law. Kamronwit also pointed out that the EZ-Bribe system works in the rain, which makes it superior to actual police officers. -- notthenation 2012-08-09 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can anyone honestly take Thailand seriously as a country when it so puts it in your face that parts of its supposedly clean cut image is so dirty. Try and keep up. This is part of Thailands new 'Honesty Is The Best Policy' campaign. They have decided it will be much easier to be honest about how dishonest they really are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute gold. I know a Thai-Chinese family that invested much more than they normally would have to buy a Mercedes for their daughter simply so she wouldn't have to deal with the corruption brigade as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKASA Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I heard if you get your card at Bangkok Bank and have an auto deduction linked to your checking account you get a 5% discount - did anyone get this?
