rooster59 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Malaysians driving in Thailand urged to ensure their licence and insurance are valid By Sharifah Mahsinah Abdullah This Aug 10 file pic shows the traffic situation near Rantau Panjang Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) ahead of the Aidiladha celebration. - NSTP/Zaman Huri Isa KOTA BARU: Police advised Malaysian motorists driving in Thailand to have valid driving licence as well as ensure the vehicles are covered by insurance. This is to prevent any untoward incident if they were involved in an accident in that country. Kelantan police deputy chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Abdullah Mohammad Piah said it was quite normal for local Kelantanese to travel to Thailand using their own vehicles but they must make sure their documents are in order. "This is to ensure they will not face any problem especially when they are involved in road accidents, such as the one which happened to a Malaysian driver who had rammed into a group of grass cutters in Songkhla, killing them instantly," he said.

nickstav Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Everyone in my girlfriend's family (mama, papa, sisters and their husbands, aunts and uncles) have cars. Not a one of them has a license, and I doubt very much insurance. Quite glad about that, because some of them want to come for a "visit", but are afraid they might get pulled over at a highway checkpoint or get in an accident on the long drive.

Yes they do mate, depending on which state they live in i would say more of them drive without license and/or insurance than Thais percentage wise coz west malaysia less than population of Thais. A lot of them never been to driving school even just the usual brown envelope and license is sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
