Thai Police launches campaign reducing road accidents

[yooper2001]

This is like having a fox watch over the chickens. Who drinks more then police at night in a back room of a bar. ( free of course )

Good morning Sirs ....

And who is those farang ?

turist police volunteer ???

[Ulic]

Are all those police officers indicating 3 drink limit only. Seems they trot this campaign out every 6-8 months.

There will not be any changes until peoples attitudes change.

[surangw]

Why don't they just enforce all the laws properly?

most of the ones they would be stopping are poor folk that don't carry any "tea money"

[tomyummer]

Oh my, not again!

"By faith. Love, belief and dreams. Life is so short let's be happy"

Who comes up with this poo poo?!! It must be the same person who came up with 'Smart Lady Thailand'. Thank you 3 times!

BANGKOK, 17 December 2013 (NNT) – The Royal Thai Police has launched a campaign to discourage drunk driving in hopes of reducing road accidents. An RTP spokesman went on to explain their policy.

"Public executions are the only way to end this horrific scourge of senseless deaths on our roadways so a get tough policy has been mandated. We've issued a shoot on site order to all RTP for all of those committing traffic violations.

Our policy is designed to be in the best interests of this country. Kill as many bad drivers as we can to insure safety for the rest."

Seems like too much effort for the Thai Police, why not just stop policing altogether and let the problem solve itself?

There has to be some loss of face going on to be #3 in the world for road deaths, especially when your neighbors are not. This is a Thai problem, and it's not going to be fixed anytime soon.

Giving out fines for no helmets does not fix the problem. Fining drunk drivers and turning them loose the next day does not fix the problem.

Total Nonsense - just another token gesture...

What a load of old <deleted>. I arrived at my Hotel in Bangkok about noon one day about four years ago and sitting outside in full uniform were four BIB with three motorcycles outside all bevvying and surrounded by about a dozen large Leo bottles. As I had lunch they all got up and rode of on the bikes. Try getting their own house in order before all this bullshit.

Well...the sign they are making with their fingers means two things, in some countries.

I think, here the second option applies.
