Reckless driving is the norm in Thailand, so only law enforcement & punishment will change behavior, not long classroom courses quickly forgotten. But it will have little impact on road safety in Thailand if improved lessons are not part of the longer course and if traffic law enforcement remains lax. ONLY LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL REDUCE ROAD ACCIDENTSThe government needs to realise that this enhanced compulsory training course will not reduce road accidents as long as law enforcement remains weak. Law enforcement agents should be equipped with electronic gadgets to track traffic law breakers and then suspend their driving licences for a certain period of time once they exceed the limit of traffic law offences. Tripling the hours of testing without doubling law enforcement efforts will not be helpful.
