Providing the offenders don't get away with paying the R.T.P. a backhander, to turn a blind eye, as per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the driving license ??? If you can get out of traffic even 20% of drivers without a license would already be a big plus! Who checks that the cops do their job and sober too?

ubon farang Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Looks like in that picture they are getting ready to go to war. Its all for show. All those things they are looking for speeding, going the wrong way etc Thais do that everyday I can see the Thai driver shaking in their boots now Oh they forgot another favourite Thais do Running red lights but that is just a minor detail is that right? I was thinking maybe they should issue the cops with glasses because I can see Thai drivers break all these rules every day and they never get pulled up doing them So happy motoring guys I am staying home because i dont want to be a statistic over the holiday period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
