PHUKET: Police continue to use the “cameras” radar to catch offenders to accelerate the Phuket and around the region, said today the colonel in charge of the traffic Police of Phuket.

Colonel Suko Phananga said that the people who were intercepted on Phuket for speeding in the year where the radar devices has been used invariably produce a business card and say “I am the son of John Doe…” or “I am a cousin of the Governor… »

What is the colonel “even will have a sticker of Police of roads to the front of your vehicle get you past our audit,” said today. “These days we find drugs in the cars driven by men in costume.”

With more than 60 fixed cameras through Phuket who can now save some traffic, the Road Police violations are an example of how offenders face of road traffic on Phuket and around the area of the Andaman Islands.

“Many visitors think that Thepkasattri Road is a super highway of the kind they have in Europe,” said the colonel. “Our radar tends to slow down if they get a warning”.

The maximum speed permitted on any road Phuket is 90 km/h, he said.

He added that there were six on Phuket highway patrol officers and 30 more operating across Phang Nga and Krabi.

Local authorities have benefited from these fines ranging between 400 baht and 1000 baht.

“Our undercover vehicle is not identified by the drivers until they are taken on a little further along close to a Highway Police vehicle,”, said Colonel Suko.

“We also draw on trucks overweight, persons who are disobeying the rules of the road, drivers who stick to the right when they should be in the way left, and vehicle suspected of carrying drugs”.

Part of the role of Colonel Suko is to visit Phuket schools to promote the message of the fight against drugs.

“Sometimes young are misled into carrying parcels of drugs to others,”, was it said. “New criminals will use every means to mislead the police.”

While the Road Police are using the same laws as the Royal Thai Police, they are a unit of the Department of highways. Colonel Suko said that emergency telephone number 1193 is manned 24 hours a day.

Phuket Highway Police had earned the price excellent service for the past two years, he said.

In March, Phuket police said Phuketwan that the network of security cameras introduced at major intersections across Phuket would be eventually used to capture photographs of people wearing no helmet step and other offences, and that fines would be delivered by mail.
