Badrabbit Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I've got a better idea. Get the police to actually do something other than play on there phones, a dummy car when no one is scared or worried about the non existant police, I'm sooooo worried lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30la Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Well another bad idea to avoid working! I have done many kilometers in Thailand, I have seen real police cars stopped on the side of the road and even on the road, I have never seen any Thai slow down or change the way of driving. This country is populated mostly by small and large children who always like to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Collins Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 A dummy's car...any car driven by a Thai who doesn't have a license, insurance and MOT/is drunk/has bald tyres and no brakes/is overloaded to the point of suspension collapse/intends to run away after an accident caused by his bad driving, especially if there is loss of life* * delete as appropriate (if at all).

Silencer Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 These are only effective in countries that regularly have REAL police patrols, speed traps, side of the road enforcement. Otherwise, they are just another billboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Well, yet another dummy idea by the authorities - stupidity seems to have gone overboard in the LoS. IF, repeat IF the police would be doing their job they are paid for they would do breathalyzer checks, impound the car on the spot and release it against a cash payment fine of say THB 10'000. Car would have to be collected within 48 hours, otherwise a daily parking fee of another THB 1'000 would apply. That at least is how such problems would be dealt with in the normal world resulting in a carnage all over Europe which is smaller than in the LoS alone. But ordering another 10'000 dummy cars with real flashes of course makes another few people filthy rich while hundreds of people will die and thousands will get injured because of some drunk d1ckheads combined with the police NOT doing the job! Go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsider Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 "Pol Col Ekkarat said that the dummies (the cars) were used by police forces all round the world." That's true. But in Thailand, they ALSO use dummies for the police force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Quote the Dummy Cars will be sited at forty accident blackspots nationwide Just the 40 then? That'll do it. Meanwhile, 15 million people continue to drive inebriated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Ah, The BiB at the highest intelligence level must have come up with this. Cardboard Cops! What a joke, or was it Big Joke that came up with this brilliant idea? Death and serious life changing injury by the many hundreds every day, not just NY and SK and nothing is done by the real dummy cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 How are they a deterrent when the real ones don't do anything anyways.... daily I blow past them like they are standing still on the motorway and its like they did not even see me.

Jooss Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 All Thai people will tell you: New Year is the period during which police gives the most fines... for getting a New Year bonus. The "dummies" will therefore have a dangerous negative effect, by pushing motorists to accelerate to avoid to pay the bribe ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

featography Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 13 yrs here, I have never seen a red police car. White, brown, black but never a red one. If Im correct and there are no real red cars, then this will only alert traffic that there is another ''sign'' to ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overherebc Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 USA and Europe this idea has some effect as drivers are conditioned to reacting to police patrol cars simply because they know they 'will' get a ticket and substantial fine/lose licence etc for speeding. Don't think I need to add more to this post. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
