Crossy Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Got nicked by one of the lane change cameras, yes I was over the line, but, like the speed cameras, there's no leeway (got done 1k for 122 in a 120 limit). I assume the white vehicle in front got a fine too. To add insult to injury it was on the way to (not) get a new controller for our electric gates. Grrrr.

As you can see from my turn signal I was moving to the left of the image, no cutting anyone up. I will, of course, pay my dues. I'd just like to see the traffic plod get out there and nick a few (thousand) for all the moving infringements I see each day on the way into town. Like back home, the enforcement droids are a cheap and low effort income stream, but they can suffer from, er, lack of judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but there is a bloke in a comfy chair handing out tickets to anyone with their wheels on the white lined forbidden area who is probably on bonus...

mstevens Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Sorry to hear you got a ticket, but at the same time the driving standards and general discipline by the wheel in Thailand are generally so bad that I am thrilled that there are such cameras around. Thais hate to be out of pocket and I am hopeful that these cameras will see some improvements in driving standards and thus, safety for all of us.

Cranky Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I wish they were at every junction in the country to stop the mindless cutting in, particularly at the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't Mods supposed to be holy virgins of impeccable morality - and F1 driving skills - sent to Earth for the benefit of us lesser beings. Booked for bad lane change! My world is destroyed.

Crossy Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 The light car to my left is (just) ok, the line is further to his right at that point. It's clearer in the second photo they sent when the vehicles have moved on slightly. I also note in the "warning" section on the back of the ticket it says that if you don't pay you won't be able to tax your vehicle next year. I will not be testing this, Wifey is paying the fine today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sungod Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Think you got seen off on the speeding, I was on the southern ring road doing 122 on the 120 limit, cost me 500THB in April. Annoys the sh*t out of me the amount of people who jump red lights, people with no helmets, right under the nose of the lazy cop in his box with the air con on.

ncc1701d Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Does the app “waze” work in Thailand (are people using it and updating stuff?). Seems to work well in other countries I’ve seen. I might download and check it out. Bqsivakly warns you of all these sorts of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
