Rimmer Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Pattaya police target smoke-belching trucks PATTAYA:--Traffic police targeted smoke-belching vehicles at a Sukhumvit Road checkpoint in South Pattaya. Numerous vehicles violating air-quality standards were ticketed. Pollution Control Department officers also affixed yellow stickers to the vehicles and recorded their license plate numbers suspending use of the vehicles for 30 days while the exhaust systems are repaired. Companies using the cited vehicles during that time are subject to a 5,000-baht fine. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-05-19-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The output of black sooty smoke like the wreck in the photo is emitting is much more than a twanged exhaust and is usually indicative of a lack of servicing at the very least if not deeper rooted engine problems .. Said before on numerous other threads relating to the pollution issue if the authorities are serious about limiting the amount of pollution emitted by vehicles they need to make those vehicles pay to enter as London and other European cities have done .. That requires a huge amount of investment in technology to operate such schemes and it also requires a step change in the attitude to vehicle ownership and use here .. Best carry a dust mask with you for the foreseeable .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here in the City there is collection, and yet many still like to light up a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbezoz Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I would imagine that to stop belching trucks would require the entire RTP to be out in force permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCanada Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Only a 5000 baht fine if your vehicle is both suspended for 30 days AND you get caught again driving it. What are the chances of that happening? How about a 5000 baht fine right off the bat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
