    Motorists risk arrest over unpaid fines under new rule

    and I quote:

    'If they are travelling out of the country, the police can apprehend them at the airport.'



    No apology necessary

    Yeah, you forgot the:

    If the motorists do not respond to the two summonses, the police will ask a court to issue an arrest warrant, the deputy commissioner said.
    Nice try at a fairy story though.

    I was rather unfairly issued a ticket for going through an amber light recently.

    The alleged 'offense' was February 11 and the ticket came through in the post a couple of weeks later... with a pay by May 05 due date.

    At first I had no recollection of the incident and then I remembered that at 10:23 on that Saturday I would have been returning home from the vet... and I remember that Anna had started to spin around on the back seat during the latter stages of the journey... which only means one thing and I wanted to get home fast. (I didn't as it happens but thank God for vinyl upholstery)

    Anyway, the photos show me just before passing an amber light which had gone red just before I exited the junction. I was thinking of contesting it, but why for 500 Baht? And besides, the one demerit point for jumping a red light goes against the wife's license. She wasn't over happy about that, but then again, she rarely is.

    I have never understood the thinking about this rule but this is Thailand after all.

    No, you said

    Yup gotta do that forsure, I do not want to get stopped at the airport and miss my flight.
    Well if you avoid any kind of court summons and get an arrest warrant issued, that "can" happen.

    Still, better to live in fear that you will be handcuffed at the airport and carted off to jail for an unpaid speeding ticket like the millions of imaginary Thais in those millions of imaginary prisons for not paying those 9.7 MILLION (last year) speeding fines.

    The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth

    I'm assuming the car is in her name. Unless there is clear evidence to the contrary, most countries will assume the owner is driving.

    He could probably give himself up if he wanted to.

    Yeah
