watch out for the police map ref R15

Anyone who thinks that a small fall off a motor cycle with no helmet on, is nothing THEN think again.

Your Skull is an egg shell, and a simple fall from height will crack it, causing a # , causing internal and external bleeding, causing raised intercranial pressure and death. Even the bleeding assoc froma broken nose and skull fracture can cause an obstructed airway and death.

Extra Dural Haemorrhage is the classic, dead in 4 hour

How many people do we read around the world who die in a simple Pub fight, hit, fell and cracked their head on the footpath, edge of table, or just the pub floor.

Police were out & about on the road between Night Market & AEK.
About 11 last night, road completely blocked - flashing red lights, the lot.
Only seemed interested in drink driving offences, no document or vehicle checking.
Breathalysed TG (no problems there ) and off on our way.
Very quick, efficient & pleasant.

I was breathalysed on the road between the night market and Robinson's during songkraan around 10pm. It's the first time I've ever been stopped during the evening, I was under the impression the police finished work at 6pm.
Anyway I'd only had a small bottle of beer so everything was OK and was waived on.
Does anyone know what the penalty is for drink driving? Is it the same as speeding i.e. 300bt fine or is it more severe? I believe in the UK now it's an instant ban for 3 years no questions asked.

repeat offence min 3 years.....

Police were out & about on the road between Night Market & AEK.

I've been stopped there before although not breathalyzed. I tend to use the dirt track next to the railway line to get back onto Phosi Rd.

Yes, it is a pretty regular stopping point for cars (1 of the few I can actually think of in Udon) but always a quick "Lights & Paperwork" check before. Don't know why they bothered to breath test the TG (she rarely drinks, thank God) unless I was making the car smell like a distillery and their lack of interest in paperwork & vehicle led me to believe they were just there to do breath testing.
