The Thai police have responded to an online post from a driver who complained about being fined for looking at Google in his car.
The motorist was fined 200 baht and the citation said that he was “Using a phone while driving a car (watching Google)”.
Police spokesman Jirasan Kaewsaeng-ek pointed out that it doesn’t matter that the driver was using his phone as a GPS looking at Google maps.
He still needed to have his full attention on the road and should have used such things as earphones or an attachment to hold his phone in place on the dash.
He did not so was fined.
Voice TV posted the story saying that the driver was fined according to article 43 (9).
This is really quite incredible that this idiot feels hard done-by after being fined. He should be grateful that he didn’t kill someone. Using a phone whilst driving is dangerous and is quite rightly banned.
