BANGKOK – Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan is preparing tough new measures against drunk drivers – making the seizure of their vehicles a permanent law.

Prawit said yesterday “I will have discussions with the Transport minister on the issue and will ask the National Legislative Assembly to expedite the case.”

Despite major campaigns against drunk driving, consumption of alcohol remained a major cause of road casualties over the Songkran holidays.
