Twenty online trafficticketissuing machines will be installed across Bangkok and ready for use from August 30, Metropolitan Police deputy chief MajGeneral Panu Kerdlarppol said yesterday.
Wat Phraya Krai, Lumpini, Thong Lor, Tha Ruea, Thung Maha Mek, Bang Phong Phang, Phra Khanong, Bang Na and Klong Ton precincts as well as the Traffic Command will each be equipped with two such machines.
After a traffic police officer issues a violation ticket, the information will be sent online to the police database. The ticket will be printed out with details about alleged violators, the charge, time and date of law, and the places the fine can be paid, Panu explained.
Police can also check previous traffic offences by swiping the electronic strip of the driver's licence or keying the licence number into the machine, he said.
