BANGKOK: -- Despite the insane number of drivers arrested during the holiday period, the number of road accidents in Thailand has not decreased compared to last year’s figures.
We can safely conclude that drunk driving is still the leading cause of road accidents during the holidays.
The National Council for Peace and Order says it arrested 21,690 drivers for driving under the influence of alcohol between Dec. 25 and Jan. 2.
Some 3,046 of these drivers had their vehicles confiscated and immediately pulled off the road, in a move to get tough with drunk driving.

The order gives authorities the power to seize licences of drink drivers who violate the law for a maximum of 30 days and impound their vehicles for a minimum of seven days. Drink drivers may also be arrested and detained, then sent to attend a behavioural adjustment programme for a maximum of 15 days.
