johng Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yes and they will drive those busses just like they raced the motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapout Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Inpound the motorbikes and the mobil phones of the drivers for 1 week with a fine of 10,000 baht to get return of either or both. The bib seem very good at topping up their pay at random road stops for helmet, liscense, etc. this method makes them more money , less time involved, and access to the latest transport and communication system avalable. Those unclaimed can be auctioned off every lotto draw day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhonchai nick Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 40 x 100baht = 4,000baht fines collected. Kids sent on their way. Told they are naughty boys and don't do it again. Confiscate the bikes, crush them and send the offenders away for 3 months military training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many cases, the "leaders" of those Motocy race gangs are offspring of Policemen and politicians, so don't expect these midnight road races to be eradicated anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a great photo on the internet that shows a steam roller crushing motor bikes in New York City after they were taken from illegal racers.Here the bib are afraid of offending the sons of a well-to-do.

Lights action camera its a wrap a great photo op of the cops in action. Nice to see the cops working after dark here they go home and the street racers take over. Too much work to pick them off one at a time I guess. Its time the licensing people make the owner fire the bike up and listen to the noise it puts out before giving them a sticker. I know to much like work not my job etc. etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicebus Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Maybe if they had somewhere to go to hoon around , the local race track or whatever it would encourage them to be more responsible on the public roads. Always seems to be a heavy handed reaction. A lot of us were young once and enjoyed a bit of a rev around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Real Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Just tell them that they get away with small fine and a warning first time, after register the offense. Give information that next time you get caught, the fine will be 35000 Bath and 60 days of community service. Confiscating or smashing the bikes will not give a result. They can easily get a new one, but it´s harder without money! Edited March 12, 2017 by Get Real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Taking a slightly different tack here, I wonder how many of the "racers" were just decent kids in the wrong place at the wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
