Department of Land Transport aims to reduce road accidents during New Year season

Land Transport Department director-general Sanit Promwong has disclosed that the agency and over 2,000 private units nationwide have organized an activity called “checking automobiles before use for safety reasons” which offers a free check-up service for 20 auto items.
The Department of Land Transport has set a goal to minimize the number of road accidents. Motorists are suggested to abide by the rules and regulations under a campaign entitled “Happy Health, Happy Heart and Safe Driving toward New Year 2016.”
All government agencies at central and regional levels have been instructed to work with the Ministry of Transport to facilitate travelers and ensure safety during a seven-days time of possible road perils nationwide.
In addition, the department has insisted that bus operators have an adequate number of buses to shuttle passengers during the long holiday season and that they all must carry licenses. Bus operators have to abide by the law, such as by refraining from overcharging fares and driving passengers to their destinations safely.
