Well after checking insurance, decided against adding belts on the bench seat. Listed as a 2 seated, which I reckon will be on the registration doc too. Also read fine for not wearing belt is up to 5000. Mrs will have to tell her mum ask someone else from the family. I can not do.

75 to 80% of fatalities on Thai roads are motor cyclists.

One thing to bear in mind is the fact that the pick up pan ban could of course severely limit and slow down the movement(s) of any folks involved in any mass demonstration protests whatever the causes, politically, financially, ecologically, state celebrations etc if they were to have to travel to participate in such an event.

That prospect alone can and no doubt may well become a double edged sword in the not too distant future.

I own a Isuzu pickup with a good fibreglass canopy on the back. I will not allow people to ride in the back of our car. The driver is the one who is responsible for the passengers.

Water delivery, and the driver's on his own.
Local check point policeman touches my seat belt. "Very good" I told him it's cos we aren't all idiots.

1st day and 1 driver is find 20,000. It must be 5k max per passenger
