Popular Post Cuchulainn Posted December 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2014 ALL drivers, regardless of vehicle, must wear appropriate footwear when in charge of a lethal weapon. I see he was fined for illegally tinted windows. When oh when oh when will they have the balls to stop a Fortuner or Merc with such windows? Bloody rabble! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post worgeordie Posted December 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2014 Tinted windows !, what about the trucks that drive about with a set of curtains in the front screen and sometimes on on the side windows.is that illegal,they must have taken exception against this driver as they threw the book at him, maybe a slow day collecting bribes,so they hit him with a 2K fine. regards worgeordie 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomthai Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 For this to become a priority, I assume all other crime must have been solved and further infractions prevented. Great news - Utopia has been achieved at last. (albeit with sandals....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTee Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I'd have doubled the fine for the expression he is wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepattaya1961 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Oh come on guys........next time they stop this guy.....he'd probably be fined for not wearing crocs and not having his cabine sufficiently dark-filmed........and otherwise his seatbelt is grey and not black and maybe he doesn't have 8 cup-holders but just 4 or maybe even the truck has square wheels. They always find something freakin' and if the truck-driver had paid up THB 100 as what they're supposed to do, he wouldn't be fined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenchair Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I had thought that it might be a safety issue. Until i read the rest of the post and realised that, yes indeed. It is a fashion issue. Well they were ugly. Not my style. Maybe he should wear high heels next time.
