pianoman Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 We were stopped at one of the ever present Thai Police Road Blocks just outside of our home city of Kalasin... He checked my Thai Drivers Lic., Owners book for the Truck, then told my wife that it was now (like it was a new law) illegal to Smoke a cigarette while driving in Thailand... He was nice, polite and offered to let me go with a "Warning" for this time???? Anyone else heard of this "New" Law???? Pianoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 At least you are not the first to be warned/fined for that. There is another thread from July 2016 about it. BUT honestly no one could show a reputable reference about this rule (if it exists). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 it used to be one hand for the wheel and the other for the cigarette. Then the phone came along -- sorry, wheel. Probably worse in Indonesia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
