observer90210 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Amazing how these taxi chaps could get away with fake vests in front of the other regular drivers... Soon, one will not be able to be sure if a chap in a brown uniform with golden wings is a genuine or a fake...!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang_paarp Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 This gets back to the use of a correctly registered vehicle. The vehicles registered to carry passengers have yellow licence plates. It is very obvious to all and sundry if the vehicle (car bike bus) is not authorised to carry passengers. As to the fake vests I, like observer90210, am surprised the real vest owners did not take action to deter the fakes as these turf disputes usually result in a loss of face for the real riders and the resultant violence is a measure of Thainess. Remember a real vest costs upward of B 30 000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably some real drivers that drive personal bikes sometimes and some fake drivers who have managed to get their hands on a yellow plate somehow They already swap the jackets so when one guy finishes a shift he can go to sleep and get paid from renting his jacket and his bike to someone else who will do the night shift etc The whole system is a shambles....
