Thai police will crack down on drunk drivers
The Thai police, through Commissioner Srivara Rangsipramanakul, has announced that the police will take tough action against alcohol consumption. Police officers who fail to ticket drunk drivers are themselves punished.
The police commissioner warned that if drunk drivers are found within a one-kilometer radius of a police checkpoint, the staff of that checkpoint will also be dealt with.
Refusing a breathalyzer is equivalent to driving a car drunk. Drink drivers can also face the following penalties:
- If you are caught with alcohol behind the wheel, you risk a prison sentence of up to one year and/or a fine of 20.000 baht. Your driver's license will be revoked for 6 months.
- Should a drunk driver cause an accident, he/she risks a prison sentence of up to five years and/or a fine of 100.000 baht. Your driver's license will be revoked for one year.
- If you drive someone to death under the influence of alcohol, you can face 3-10 years in prison and a fine of up to 200.000 baht. Your driver's license will then be revoked for life.

Most of the deaths (approximately 70%) during the 7 black days are year after year: YOUNG PEOPLE between 15 and 25 years old, who drive too fast and/or are drunk on their mopeds, on a local road in their own district, on the days 3,4 and 5 of the dangerous week.
Wat gaat de politie doen: rijders van voertuigen met tenminste 4 wielen controleren op drankgebruik testen van 8 tot 20 uur, op snelwegen.
you don't have to wonder if this is effective.
Went to Udonthani by car on December 28th. Left Bangkok at 3am. The police posts on the road were unmanned until 9 a.m. From 3 to 9 seen three accidents on the way; no police to do or check anything.

What will the police do: check drivers of vehicles with at least 4 wheels for drinking from 8 a.m. to 20 p.m., on highways.

I think this has been going on for two years in Chiang Mai. I increasingly get the idea that Chiang Mai is being used as an attempt to implement new rules nationwide.
And what will they do if the policeman himself drives around drunk?
Experienced today. Pedestrian crossing with lights. 1 in 2 heavy pick-ups just keep driving without even braking. Pedestrians have to jump for their lives. 30 meters further 4 policemen are stopping scooter riders who don't have a flowerpot on their head.
