After several years of talks on enforcing traffic-ticket fine payments, the Royal Thai Police (RTP) and the Department of Land Transport (DLT) finally signed a memorandum of understanding on Feb 8 to share electronic data on traffic violations and the issuance of traffic tickets by the police.
Under this arrangement, which comes into effect on April 1, DLT officials will demand outstanding traffic-ticket fines from offenders when they apply for annual tax for vehicle licence renewals but will accept payment of tax renewals as usual.
