NLA approves electronic traffic fine payments

THE NATIONAL Legislative Assembly (NLA) Thursday approved a proposal for a bill that would make it possible for traffic-law violators to pay fines via electronic transactions at convenience stores as well as at banks.

The NLA had previously set up a committee to vet the proposed bill, which is slated to complete its work within a month.
“This way, officials won’t have to handle cash,” Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam explained. 
He said it would be more convenient for people to pay fines.
