Transport Ministry targets 12% less New Year's traffic accidents

BANGKOK, Dec 12 (TNA) - The Transport Ministry's Land Transport Department has set its target to reduce road traffic accidents by 12 per cent during the "seven dangerous days" period of the New Year's celebrations, starting December 28.


Deputy Director General Ronnayut Tangruamsap told journalists after attending a meeting with representatives of bus operators and drivers that he had asked them to check their buses' engines and the condition of the drivers before driving during the upcoming holidays.

Reckless driving and driving while intoxicated are seen as the cause of a large portion of Thailand's road accidents during the festivities, including New Year.


The Department intends to reduce road accidents during the seven-day period by 12 per cent from last year's total, Mr. Ronnayut said.

Also, starting from January 1, operators of public buses must have their buses inspected twice a year, instead of annually, in order to ensure safety of passengers, according to an announcement issued by the department.
