From November onwards, the number of tickets dropped to about 33,541 per month on average. Before that, there were as many as 118,208 tickets issued each month.
“It’s down by 72 per cent,” Traffic Police Division commander Maj-General Jirasan Kaewsaeng-ake said Friday.
He explained that the drop stemmed from the fact that traffic police adopted a lenient approach in the face of the tense situation in the country.
