I would like to see policemen and radars and breath control on secondary roads ( red and concrete roads which are so many in Thailand ).. I would like to see policemen controlling licenses and helmets between 7 am and 8 am when children come to school ...and verifiing if passengers and driver have security belts in minibuses ... But that will never come ... Red bull boy got a few points, but he can keep his licence. What date does he walk free?..watch out! Link to post Share on other sites
Pinot 4,435 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 30% of drivers don't even have driver's licenses. 10 year olds commonly drive scooters. The biggest problem is that there is no law enforcement for moving vehicles. In 10 years I've never seen the police pull over a single person for a moving violation. Points on driver's licenses will do nothing to stop the carnage. Link to post Share on other sites
gunderhill 6,059 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Total CRAP as usual, points will do nothing cameras do not stop drivers tailgating, swerving in and out, not looking, giving signals etc etc Link to post Share on other sites
ezzra 43,574 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Many of the local's driving habits derived from the Thai loose takes and interpretations on moral issues and their duty as a citizen and a road user, culture of 'I know someone, i can buy my way out of this' and old time favorite 'My pen Rai, they don't have my current address, It's not my car, the car is not even registers, etc. etc. so until the mindset of the Thai drivers will fundamentally change, no point system will help...

faraday 11,612 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I think it's great, coz I don't have to be responsible really. As long as I don't get pissed up, & drive more than 3 times a year, I'll be ok. Seriously though. Why not an automatic ban for DUI...? Yea, I suppose it's a good idea, as long as it's enforced & non-payment is followed up. But it won't be. They'll still be a 'roadside payment scheme' available. Three, flipping, points, for drunk driving? Madness. Link to post Share on other sites
