Tougher punishment on road lawbreakers

Bangkok deputy police chief Pol Maj-General Adul Narongsak will propose to the Transport Ministry that it amend laws to ensure harsher punishments for "ill-disciplined drivers".

Adul said yesterday traffic police would gather traffic details on a daily basis to analyse and improve the city’s traffic system in a more integrated manner. Police would coordinate with the city and Transport Ministry to push through the traffic improvement strategy in 13 key matters including manpower management, road accident studies and law amendment to severely punish traffic violators including “ill-disciplined drivers.”
