@thethaigerofficial: Kalasin campaign against loud motorcycles leads to 50 arrests Police in Mueang Kalasin say a month-long operation against loud motorcycles and illegal street racing led to 50 arrests and the seizure of 50 motorcycles during March. The campaign ran from March 1 to March 31 and included 31 checkpoints in areas described as higher risk, with officers targeting modified vehicles and noisy exhaust systems. Most of those arrested were aged between 15 and 20, showing how heavily the issue is tied to youth behaviour and road culture. Police said the problem affects communities through noise, accident risk and the wider burden placed on families when young riders end up facing legal trouble. Riders can face up to three months in prison, fines of 5,000 to 10,000 baht, or both, while parents may also face penalties under the Child Protection Act. Authorities said the operation also included outreach in schools, meetings with parents and continued coordination with community leaders. The crackdown suggests police are trying to pair enforcement with prevention, though the real test will be whether the campaign changes behaviour once the checkpoints are gone. #Kalasin #StreetRacing #Motorcycles #RoadSafety #ThailandPolice
