Jason Posted November 23, 2021 #111032 Share Posted November 23, 2021 So do the police sell the seized bikes and cars and do something positive with the funds? Or do we crush them in a public crushing event? Either way, 1 day blitzes are all well and good, but it needs to be a continuos effort by police.

When it's claimed that the Thai can't pay their fine, but can own a bike, I said exactly that to a friend yesterday. Impound the bike until they can pay the fine and show the helmet and insurance papers. Only then will you change attitude and safety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a Camera everything becomes less interesting... however... if your driving without a helmet... be just fair and pay the fine. I mean if your wrong, your wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's controlled on a regular basis and the direction to the police is there, it's never going to stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
