Now in BKK - you're nabbed if you're . . .

driving on the wrong side of the road

driving on the pavement

double parking

cutting cars up when overtaking

Can we have some of this over here, please?

(And the rest!)

They've always been nabbed for it if the BIB wanted some "tea money", now they will have to actually write a ticket, less tea money, more work!

reason they pull peoplel constantly in Bangkok is for tea money. i have had to pay loads of bribes up there for things which i hadn;t even done.

such as speeding. i drove on the limit on the toll way i told them this. they told me i was 4 kms per hour over.

another time they told me i was speeding and showed me a photo of someone elses car and told me if i wanted to see my own photo then i had to go to the police station and wait for the film to pbe processed and some how this photo would show that i was speeding or i could give them 500 baht to go

everytime i went out in bangkok i had to have 500 baht behinde my driving lisence

If you read the original link, it's about issuing a 100 tickets per day in all districts of BKK, nothing to do with tea money.

500? That's extortion. I never pay more than 200.

Me neither.

I once got stopped driving from Hua Hin to BKK. The policeman asked for 400 baht. We managed to scrape the money together without opening our wallets and the BIB burst out laughing.

"No!" he said "Only 200 baht. You should haggle."

so would the BIB rather issue 100 tickets or coect tea money 100 times I think we all know the answer especially in Samui and this is the Samui forum

Give out a ticket and the 500 baht gets shared by the whole station.

Collect tea money and you keep the 200 baht - perhaps sharing it with your 'back-up'.

No brainer really

The Ringroad is 52 KM and all driver drive like hell. The new Road parts from Natho to Lamai is already a FI race track

on samui the BIB drive on the wrong side, drive on the pavement, drive on the side walk, and

drive under the influence, when the fish stinks it comes from the head down.

Sometimes I am driving fast because I am in a hurry and don't have time to haggle next time I shall pay the fine

Story already running HERE.

Might be worthwhile reading:

In case anyone is wondering, why traffic has slowed down in Maenam, they have got the traffic lights going again ..... as of today.... been nearly a year, I think without them...

so they nab you if your driving on the pavement. this means that people still do it. I know i have nearly been run over by a motor bike taxi on the pavenement in sukumvit

also dont U turns in places where i have been nabbed the previous week infront of a police man who just stars straight ahead.

have even seen motor bike taxi driver directing traffic whilst the poiceman is sitting down eating and drinking.\

They might fix the light's at the immigration crossroads it's been over a year since the road workers ripped up the cable's.
