Popular Post webfact Posted March 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2014 Traffic Police to reinforce strict rule from March 7 BANGKOK, 5 March 2014 (NNT) - The Traffic Police Division is set to reinforce road rules on March 7 after their previous clampdown on traffic violators was disrupted by a series of anti-government protests.According to Metropolitan Police Bureau Deputy Commissioner in charge of traffic control Pol Maj Gen Adul Narongsak, 88 police stations across Bangkok will strictly enforce traffic rules to curb accident and road fatality rates this year. Major roads under the supervision of many police stations had been occupied by People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) and efforts to reign in traffic violations were derailed.From March 7, violators of 13 major traffic regulations will face legal action. Those offences include parking in non-parking areas, unnecessary overtaking of other vehicles during traffic, running red lights, drunk driving and speeding.One of the most important traffic campaigns is stricter enforcement of parking rules. Owners who violate the regulation will be fined up to 500 baht each. In addition, they will have to pay 500 baht for the towing fee and 200 baht daily for storage.-- NNT 2014-03-05 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bigbamboo Posted March 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2014 Some people seem to forget that the poor traffic police have been hit hard financially by the anti government protests. These have been difficult times for them what with having to keep a low profile instead of being out and about collecting fines. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbathewhitelion Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Will see if this actually happens or just more BS dribble from the Thai government. In the meantime it'll give these poor traffic police time to go home & put on their brain(s).

LindsayBKK Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) If you get a ticket from a Red Light Camera don't pay it, law has not been passed through Parliament as yet. But some are paying without knowing. Are there road rules in Thailand, I thought the cops made 'em up & changed them daily.

Loles Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Traffic Police & rules ? They are the most corrupt team which I have seen but use to I work Africa also. They have a new system now for recieve the BST tea money for mia noi. Just take a look, sukhumvit 62., opposite side, there is a sport land. If some-one (of course almost every-one) has to pay to dirty pocket, has to go inside the sport land, behind the fence and hadge, and the "cassa" is there. The police have to aviod the lot of camera (cars, phones from BTS station, bus station, bypassers). Very very smart. They can respond to the new challenge.

lee b Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 And what about those who drive around in killing machines without a driving license???? Are they going to get a slap on the hand and a pety fine? Emm.... It seems to be perfectly ok for a 14 year old to drive a car with no problem what so ever. I wonder what kind of driving test he / she had? How do you say 'none in Thai again?
