BANGKOK: -- New regulations mean that people who want a driving license will no longer need to be tested at a land department center.

All applicants need to do is go to a driving school, get a certificate and they will be behind the wheel.

Head of the land transport department Sanit Pornmuang said yesterday it was all part of changes to the rules for getting licenses.

If potential drivers can show they have completed the new more stringent training they can pick up a license from any department office, reports Thairath.

Drivers now need to do five hours of training instead of the previous four.

Sanit said that 93 private driving schools nationwide are registered with his department. Potential drivers will have to go to one of these to complete the training.

But when that is done they will need to do nothing else except present the certificate from the driving school and they will get their license.

Another 48 driving schools are also being considered to be part of the scheme.

Det går jo godt her på øen Koh Samui går der vilde rygter som siger at hvis du donerer 10.000 baht til skolens ve og vel, kan du nøjes med at drikke en øl sammen med kørelæreren, vupti så er kortet færdigt

men det er jo kun rygtet som slet ikke passer ind i det Thailandske system ((11((

Den slags kørelærere må jo være totalt uden ansvarsfølelse. -Det må sgu være grimt at erfare, at ½ time efter man har sluppet sin elev løs i trafikken er enten eleven eller andre blevet hårdt kvæstet eller dræbt.:o

Lad os håbe det kun er rygter, -men der går sjældent røg af en brand uden der er ild ((1((
-----------------------------

-Men jeg skal da ikke forsværge at det evt. kan forekomme, for jeg har lige været orienteret om noget næsten tilsvarende, bare omkring visa til længere ophold (åbenbart visa/ imigrations-kontor) hvor alt også kan lade sig gøre.((7))

jeg er bange for at det ikke kun er rygter for de høres mange steder
