Parents to sign contract to stop street racers
Play
Police will invite parents of street racers arrested over the last three years to sign an MOU in a bid to stop them from racing on public roads again.
Deputy Metropolitan police commissioner Pol Maj Gen Adul Narongsak said that the police is making a list of the names of those illegal racers and ask their parents to sign an MOU promising that they will not let their kids race on the streets again. If they fail to obey, the parents will also be charged.
He said that since the police have insufficient traffic officers to cover every area in Bangkok, everyone should be involved in solving the problems.
“In the past we had only 10 traffic officers dealing with more than 100 street racers, 200 in some places. Charging the parents of those street racers might help in reducing the problems,” Pol Maj Gen Adul Narongsak said.
The police are also monitoring motorcycle shops and asking them not to sell accessories to street racers.
