Thai driving licence on your phone starts tomorrow

Sanook reported that the scheme to be able to show details of a Thai driving licence on your phone starts tomorrow. 

From 15th January it will be unnecessary to carry the regular plastic licence with you if you have applied for the Electronic Driving Licence. 

This can be shown to the police and would be useful in the event of an accident. 

Information on the digital licence includes allergies, blood type, illnesses, rights to use hospitals, person to contact in an emergency, location and tracking information. 

Anyone with an old licence can now apply for the new EDL at Department of Land Transport offices nationwide said chief of the DLT Pheerapong Thawornsupacharoen. It is also available for those seeking a licence for the first time.

Those with both car and motorcycle licences were eligible.
