balo Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Well he was fined 5000 baht , that's around 40% of his salary . I think this could help them to think twice , if the traffic cops could just do their jobs and continue with the heavy fines.

arrowsdawdle Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Fine him the price of dinner for four at a fine restaurant. Kind of lends new meaning to fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landslide Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 This fool of a bus driver is just a common example of virtually all the commercial drivers in Thailand. I have the bigger vehicle, so get out of my way. When in Thailand, my wife and I make regular auto trips to the North of Thailand to visit friends. Passing on corners and in blind spots is just normal for these idiots. There is no traffic enforcement by the police, and no consequence for the driver when one is captured on camera endangering the lives of their passengers and the public. It is no wonder the carnage continues, year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Pathetic, dangerous driving and endangerment that could have killed a whole family. Off the roads immediately and the tour bus company penalized too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is. The driver in this instance was nailed and fined 5000 baht. But I get your point completely. It takes video posted on social media before the cops do anything. Before FB, they did absolutely bugger all, now they do less than bugger all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinsdale Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Here's an idea that will never happen. Ban the bus company from operating for week. Heavy fines for the owners. Driver fined and disqualified for six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably is but presumably that necessity is by-passed when you pay the "connection". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJohn Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 What a stupid excuse ......... So, when the 40 people on his bus were killed that'll be fine ..... Oh, yes, he needed to catch up with his buddies. Convoys!!! Usually blocking the road in the fast lane, forcing everyone to either sit in a long queue or undertake. It should be another practice which is banned in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 In his mind he was not driving on the wrong side of the road. He was just trying to pass the trucks. Thai rationalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
