Rimmer Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Motorcycle taxi crackdown continues PATTAYA--Local transportation officials continued their crackdown on Pattaya motorcycle taxis following the attempted sale of a registered driver’s vest. Chonburi Department of Land Transport inspector Wasu Mongkolkaew led soldiers to The Avenue galleria where they spread out to check 30 motorbike stands. Numerous bikers were found using non-commercial license plates, dressed poorly or otherwise not meeting the standards set out in their licenses. The crackdown came after driver Pornthep Jampangam, 39, was caught illegally trying to sell his vest on Facebook for 120,000 baht. Authorities swooped down on his Soi Yensabai taxi stand Jan. 19. He was arrested and, while they were there, land-transport officials checked Pornthep’s 13 co-workers and found they were using the wrong type of motorcycles, weren’t dressed properly and other offenses. Officials claimed they’d have all the city’s drivers in compliance by the end of the month. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-02-01-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How very indiscrete of him. What a plonker. But then, every week police are out arresting idiots who have announced to the world on Facebook an illegal street race. They just don't get it, do they. A special kind of stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
