Police tighten up on public transport vans

Chanthawit said that public transport vans covering no more than 300 kilometres must be less than 10 years old, have seatbelts for all seats and be equipped with tools required by the Land Transport Department. They must also have a sticker clearly displayed that confirms the van has passed its maintenance examination. He said that police would stop any public transport vans without the sticker, arrest the drivers. Checkpoints looking for such illegal vans would also be set up in Bangkok and on main highways.
