colinchaffers Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 A local driver took me to the airport using my truck, I've just received notification from the Thai police for speeding while he drove it back, my question is are points now being issued for driving offences? the paperwork is in Thai so its not clear to me and I've seen news reports that they will be introduced.

thailand49 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Concern for yourself or your truck? Is the suggested point system for the vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinchaffers Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 As I understand it the owner of the truck will get the points, unless you tell them otherwise. But if the points system is not yet active I’m relaxed about the situation.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 It won't matter anyway. It looks as though 30% of the population drives without licenses anyway. So when the points system hits, 50% of the population drives without a license. Stopped at a roadblock. Pay your 500 THB fine and get issued a receipt that allows you to drive the rest of the day without being fined at other roadblocks. Welcome to Amazing Thailand. Worried about 'points?'

Cricky Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 It's always a good idea not to let anyone drive your vehicle. get a local company/driver to drive you to the airport in their vehicle, not alot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRoadrunner Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Some Land Transport offices, like Chatuchak, have a Police department. You'll get pulled when you go to do your tax. Same happens when buying a vehicle from someone else, you go to transfer it into your name only to find that the seller had unpaid tickets. Da Roadrunner uses an office which lacks a Police dept. Just as well with my record! If I get a ticket I just bin it, isn't Thailand wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Where I live there is a link between LTO and the BiB regarding unpaid fines. Mrs.Trans has the T-shirt, went to pay her bike road tax and was told to go to the police station to pay an unpaid parking fine that she knew nothing about. The BiB actually showed her a photo of her dodgy parking on their PC. She paid the fine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Yes JaiLai, this is first hand info, actually happened to me, buy then anything can happen in Disneyland. I bought a car and the Police office in the Chatuchak LTO gave me all the previous owners fines, which I had to pay if I wanted it registered in my name. Later, I confronted the previous owner who denied all. This being Thailand, I suspect every office is different! The LTO I now use has no Police dept.

Which just goes to show why this country is the laughing stock to others...The BiB know who owes them money but they will not go out and knock at his door, they would rather you pay than get off their ass...
