Jimlove Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 So basicly same fine for this "decor" as killing someone due to reckless driving ... Amazing idiocy daily here ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oil Baron Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Foam key decoration banning......Thailand, solving one major problem at a time. Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Traveller Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I also thought motorcyles driving the wrong way and cars cutting in front of you suddenly without indicating were a distraction. Seems that they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Enough of this Thai bashing, Let the police do their jobs, Tacky car decor should be banned anyway. It's a start, Rome was not built in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfalfa19 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm guessing that only farangs will incur this fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thian Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Enough of this Thai bashing, Let the police do their jobs, Tacky car decor should be banned anyway. It's a start, Rome was not built in one day. Pretty poor start then. It's not Thai bashing in my opinion, it's all the truth. Now they ban those windup keys but what about the neon-green plastic bottles hanging on vehicles for some reason? They also can kill a motorbike driver. Or the advertisings along the highways which will start flying around during a storm. If Thailand really wants to be taken serious they can easy stop all that from happening. Just let the police fine the company's who place them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkup Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Let's find another way to increase revenue and disguise it under "road safety". Meanwhile lets do nothing about curbing the real problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seastallion Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Everyone's opinion here is right (except the anti-Thai bashing....because criticism is warranted here). The mirth, the incredulity etc is all spot on. But I wonder why this announcement was made. Either someone in the Transport ministry just wants to sound important, OR....... someone in the Transport Ministry has got a flea in their bonnet with the businessman who is importing/manufacturing these things. Alternatively...it was just a passing comment in the vein of passing on a bit of trivia, but the journalist has picked up on it and blown it out of proportion.

primapagina Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 clearly the majority here does not drive a bike. Do it at 70 km/h and think of getting that stuff in your face (as it cannot be fixed properly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it at 70 km/h and think of getting that stuff in your face (as it cannot be fixed properly). Since it is made of foam rubber it may be better than hitting the rear screen at 70kph because you were tailgating. More of an issue when trying to wriggle through the queueing traffic.

mogo51 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Good ideat leas, meanwhile, unregistered, uninsuredcars an bikes run all over the place untouched. Drivers and riders travelling at speed of sound and disobeying traffic lights etc etc. At least the Thai 'government' has its priorities right.

cumgranosalum Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The road to democracy is a rocky one, strewn with obstacles........nice to see the junta's all-encompassing program is still on target but isn't missing out the minutia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNXTim Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hmm, no move to fine those gutter crawling gangs of ad screaming pick-up trucks? I mean the ones with the pretties twerking or Coyote Dancing in the back are OK, but the ones with brain cell liquefying at massive distorted decibels over the limit? C'mon...

DrTuner Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 And 200k fine for hello kitty drivers, revoke their licences while at it. They are a road hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammygood Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 people driving true red lights = 0 baht fine people driving drunk, maybe 200-500 baht make a joke on the back that hurts nobody = 2000 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneday Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The highest fines I know of are 1000 baht for something like running a red light. But for something that is not dangerous and causes no harm to another person, they want to fine them twice the going rate. All you can do is shake your head in wonder.

Briggsy Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Seriously??............but driving these little pieces of crap at 160kph is ok? Yes, Thai cops have a strong preference for avoiding penalising moving infractions. It is deemed troublesome and not cost-effective to leave the checkpoint.

USNret Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The fine for a wind-up key is ridiculous, but that car should totally be fined for being so freakin dirty. You can hardly see through the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
