THAILAND : -- the police and the army as part of the National Council for Peace are to tackle with street racing motorcyclists that will be the next to face crackdown by the authorities.
An officer of the judge-advocate department in charge of coordinating with the police to enforce the social order, said Friday that since the NCPO had already taken actions to deal with several social problems ranging from illegal parking by passenger vans, illegal motorcycle taxies, loan sharks, illegal gambling and etc it was about time that focus would be shifted to street racing by young motorcyclists.
Lt-Col Burin Thongprapai said, Street racing, not only poses danger to the riders themselves but put other motorcyclists and motorists at risk and also poses a nuisance to the public in general.
He added that the problem remain because, the racers are set free after their parents were summoned by the police to receive warnings and in some cases, their motorbikes were impounded.
From today upward arrested racers will be sent to a rehabilitation school for seven days for rehabilitation to change their habits, he noted.
