femi fan Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 So, erm, what is the speed limit then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haybilly Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 speeding fine.jpg Got done driving a hire car last month. 123 kph in a 90kph zone apparently. The pic doesn't show the car full of hotties I was taking with me thank goodness :-p This was Km 96 on Highway 1, Tambon Huai Khamin, Amphur Nong Khae, Saraburi. AVIS charged me 900 baht on my credit card a month after the car was returned. It took me two phone calls to get them to tell me why. Normally speeding fines are 400 baht, I asked them to explain why they charged me 900 baht as they have showed me no docket saying how much the fine is. Why anyone would need a Hot Water Bottle in Thailand--is beyond me!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saan Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 look out if Thailand heads the same way as the nanny state(Australia) you will see a big reduction in people driving as there is a point system and after 12 points in you lose your license for 3 months. They give you a 3% tolerance, so if you do 106 klm(100 klm speed limit) you will be fined . on one freeway in Melbourne they have a total of 30 speed cameras!! not to mention the red light cameras. If Thailand were a 'nanny state' like Australia there could be 13000 Thai lives saved every year as Australia has halved it's road toll since 1989. Not a bad swop - go a bit slower and save a life, maybe yours or one of your kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Are there fines if I ride too slow? no, but you will be pulled over and given an alcohol and a drug test. It is funny but in the years I have been here I only once was asked for 200 baht by a cop. It was for passing a ox cart like contraption The guy was doing like 4mph over a long bridge & yes it was a solid line but not a car in sight as far as the eye could see in either direction so I eased out & passed. But when I reached the other end of the bridge there he was waving me over for passing. Fair enough as I did in fact break a law passing in a no passing zone $6 was not a bad deal But I always wondered if he & the ox cart contraption were working together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
