This also happens everywhere in Thailand is not limited to motorized vehicles, usually just nobody reports about it. I saw this many times with big bikes, and also many times with groups of bicycles. Often the police is involved in blocking the roads (which probably just means somebody paid them money, doubt they get an official permit by the city or similar), but many times some drivers / riders block the street by themself.

They do that in the country where you come from, or can't you just hide your jealousy that others can afford a nicer vehicle than you? 1 hour ago, JulesMad said: It would be more honest if drivers would be fined a percentage of the value of their cars (yes, including import tax!) Where else in the world are traffic fines calculated by a percentage of the car value? More sour grapes from TV losers I guess Link to post Share on other sites

Special Convoy Rights The Highway Code of several European countries (Norway, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, possibly more) includes special rights for marked convoys. They have to be treated like a single vehicle. If the first vehicle has passed an intersection, all others may do so without interruption. If other road users overtake the convoy, they aren't allowed to split into the queue. Link to post Share on other sites
