Mitker Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 "He added that usually arresting officers got 40 per cent of the fine." It's finally official. What's better to nicely serve justice than a mercenary police force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dap Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) A whole 15 ... Impressive! Especially since they have 200 tow trucks at the ready. Yup ... Impressive! Edited October 22, 2013 by Dap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank James Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Only 15 out of almost 7 million registered cars in Bangkok must be a lot of law abiding well-disciplined admirable drivers in Bangkok . In any American city 15 cars are hauled away in five minutes or less, all day long. Hundreds of $$ to get your wheels back. Big Hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consequences are the simple solution to most problems like this. Why is the traffic and habits of the drivers the way it is? Lack of consequences.

PeterSmiles Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Last Saturday, I actually saw police putting the wheel locks on cars illegally parked on Sukhumvit, just after soi 55. That was a refreshing sight, as there are always cars clogging that area to go and eat at the restaurants there. Sunday, for the first time, I saw my soi free of all the cars parked illegally there at the entrance of the soi! I could for once get in without having to contort my car between the cars parked and the oncoming traffic. I would wish this policy to be enforced radically and across the board. Then maybe Thais will learn a bit of discipline in their anarchic parking habits. Your comment is a relief to read. Now report back in 7 days . i have such a strange feeling that it will have returned to normal by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkt83100 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 They should come to Patong Beach and tow about 500 Tuk-Tuks parking at red-white all around town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtongteesood Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Don't forget that it is only on 10 streets and it has been wideky publicized. This means that there are 15 idiots who are still dumb enough to park illegally even when they know the police are supposed to start towing. Maybe the rest of the people actually listened and avoided parking illegally in this small area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalansanitwong Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I bet none of the cars towed belonged to HI-SO Thais. Any Benz, Rollers,Ferrari's towed? Probably all taxis and Toyota's owned by the sombats and somkids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
