The only way the Govt will be able to improve public transport is to put more buses on the road. They're not really my friends either though. ... Unless...

If the buses were usable it would mean less cars on the road so I'd take that as a compromise. I might even use the bus myself if it was actually there at all!

You can get stopped for going too slow.

Yes indeed and rightly so. Though you're extremely unlikely to be issue with a FPN or summons unless something else is amiss. It's next to impossible to enforce a minimum speed limit in a democratic country.

Maybe driver education would work in the same way it's been seen to do so in the situation of minor speeding cases?

Ok, Did not read all the Posts in this Thread, but just thinking that at the beginning it was about Driving slow on the Roads, and Stopping before turning.

Then Thailand is Right the Opposite of everything with Regulations. Here you get Scooters coming the wrong way on the road, on top of that with no Helmets (Police officers do the same tho) but if the Police catches someone they will get fined (but the Police don't get fined)

About Speed limit Signs, I got to be Honest, i have not seen any than on the Highways the allow only 120km/h (Only when police is around, they go a Lot faster if the are none insight), if you get stopped for Speeding, Just give them some Money for the Coffee then they will let you go again (Different Story in City Areas, were you have to Pay the Fine at the Station. But you will get your Licence back after you have Paid).

Well PTYstefan, it would seem to be a rather unique way of dealing with traffic misdemeanour's in Thailand than I ever thought possible
