[Flashermac]

Starting today (Monday) traffic police in Bangkok and its peripherals have launched a crackdown on illegal parking with violating cars facing wheel clamping or being towed away.

 

Before the launch of the crackdown today, authorities concerned were briefed of the need to get tough with illegal parking on roads as a means to address traffic congestion and to prevent road accidents.

 

Pol Gen Wuthi Liptapanlop, an advisor of the National Police Office, said that traffic police would take the immediate action against illegal-parked cars by towing them away to the nearest police stations or having the car wheels clamped.

 

He added that shop houseowners who illegal occupy the footpaths in front of their shops would face a fine of 500 baht.

 

The slogan of the crackdown is: tow-away, wheel clamp, fine, arrest and polite.

Hi,

 

"with violating cars facing wheel clamping or being towed away."

 

Excluding of course any cars over a value of 2M Baht.

 

"The slogan of the crackdown is: tow-away, wheel clamp, fine, arrest and polite."

 

Very catchy that!

 

Sanuk!

Thailand is far too easy going on illegal parking, speed violations and traffic offences. To come in line with western standards we need more yellow lines, speed trap camera's, more clamping, higher fines, lot's more towing away and crushing of vehicles if you don't pay.
