Thread: Over 300,000 motorcycles confiscated from illegal street racing

Police have confiscated 320,973 motorcycles used in illegal street racing throughout the country since the start of 2021, Deputy National Police Chief Pol General Damrongsak Kittipraphas said on Sunday (October 10).


“Charges of violating Traffic Act have been filed against over 3,000 street racers and over 1,000 motorcycle shops for performing illegal modifications,” he said. “Meanwhile, over 40,000 parents were charged with violating Child Protection Act for letting their children participating in illegal street racing, either as racers or spectators.”


“So far, 1,201,288 people have been charged with Traffic Act violations, while 157,548 people have their offences recorded in the police’s CRIME database,” he added. “Of these, 241 cases with 283 offenders have been tracked down by the police using CCTV technology.”


Damrongsak added that the police have also set up a fund of 400,000 Baht as reward for anyone who gives a tip-off of illegal street racing. Tip givers will be awarded 3,000 Baht when the information they gave can lead to the arrest.

“If you have any information on illegal street racing or other related offences, please contact hotline 1599 or upload video/photo evidence to facebook @SocialMediaRoyalThaiPolice,” he added.

Over 300,000 motorcycles confiscated from illegal street racing

does that mean that the cops who confiscated them get to keep 30% of them?

That the cops pay 3k to the rat, with the implication they can then sell the bike they impound for 10k+

Some of those rice-rockets go for quite a bit more than 10k, btw.


They don't build 2-strokes like they used to.

^ that would be my take

Let cops do cop work. Down with rats!

Rats are useful in helping the Cops increase their wages, don't write off rats, rats are an income multiplier.

^ i'm sure the BiB recover most of the "reward" with the knowing smile they give the rat whilst handing over the cash and saying lets hope your name doesn't get out

Possibly a bit harsh on some parents.

How do you reckon Willy? A lot of the kids caught at the races were 14-17 years old. Not even old enough to drive, and a good portion were female. Go after the parents, then they can shut the little idiot racers down.

You can keep them off the household scooter but you can't stop them spectating.

Why not set up a legal racing scheme in a controlled environment? There's obviously a market for it.

Can get a motorbike license at age 15.

Half the buzz is doing it illegally with yer mates late at night. A FU to the cops and society that gives them very little.


The serious gangs have drag races for the loser's GF for the night to do with as they please. The girls involved at this level are much respected within the gang.
