Stopping at the white lines at an intersection

[cbrib 354]

Got pulled over on suk on the bike yesterday at Huay Yai intersection. Supposedly i stopped over the white line that did not exist. I showed the cop all my paperwork and then showed him there is no way to see the very faded line with all the cars stopped at the red light.

 

Then i asked him about the taxi and mini van that were over and why he hasn't pulled them over. As he started smiling i took out my phone and started taking pics. He gave me my license back and told me to have a nice day. Btw the fine is 1000 baht.

That cop box is notorious for stopping every falang that stops there, or a goodly number of them anyway. When you dont go over the white line they will just take you anyway.

 

Do exactly what you did... take a photo. Most of the time they will tell you to have a nice day.

 

The vast majority of the falangs just pay up, so its a good business for them.
