You have to be kidding right?    road safety here in LOS............

Typical Policing!!

Never mind about safety, as usual.

Where are these rogue operators operating from?

To?.

God knows .

 

 

Don't mind the worn out tires and missing licenses. How many swords, baseball bats and guns did they find?

rogue operators ?  Guess not but did see something odd this week... Grey Toyota Commuter came down the Village on Monday, I thought it was a panel Van but no was a Mini Bus with same colour grey tints,  out got a child from school, other kids were in there also...............  Odd was the number plate as green letters.. 

 

Wednesday lunch time went to a bigger Village and they have Mini shed/Bus yard with Mini Bus running to Bangkok, the same or another Grey Toyota Commuter Van was there, Passengers getting on paying the Driver.  as I was having Lunch the van stopped outside for 2 more passengers..  100% the plates white were green letters same as my Pickup..

 

Never seen before as all the  Toyota Commuter Van at this place are white with Yellow public service number plates..  ??  something New ?

Did they check the drivers to see if they knew a few important road rules?

I still shudder when I think of the 'driver' taking us to the giant Buddha in Phuket.  It's a winding road and NOT the place to overtake slow trucks on blind corners and double white lines.

This guy obviously trained in a kamikaze school.

OK, we got a "chief" and a Major out getting tough on the rogues for an hour or so, maybe two hours.

 

Lets look at this..

 

Rogue - definition of rogue by The Free Dictionary

An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal. 

www.thefreedictionary.com › rogue

 

Seems to me that the rogues were the ones out hassling gypsy van drivers.  Out cruising with the media types for publicity.

 

The fact they were out doing something is news.  In Thailand that is.

How much were the cops/army able to extort from them????????

And they are already on their way again..........

What about the drivers of meterless taximeters that clog up Pattaya's parking spaces waiting for a well-heeled sucker?
