Key Quotes

พล.ต.ท.พิสิฐ ตันประเสริฐ (Pol.Lt.Gen. Pisit Tanprasert)
"During this Songkran festival, I emphasize personnel to focus on serving the public primarily to ensure safe travel. However, strictly enforce traffic discipline, never drive against traffic, always wear helmets on motorcycles, fasten seatbelts in cars, and absolutely do not drink and drive, as most accidents are caused by drunk driving."
ช่วงเทศกาลสงกรานต์นี้กำชับกำลังพลให้เน้นด้านการบริการประชาชนเป็นหลัก เพื่อให้พี่น้องประชาชนใช้รถ ใช้ถนนอย่างปลอดภัย แต่ให้กวดขันเรื่องวินัยจราจร ไม่ขับรถย้อนศรเด็ดขาด สวมหมวกนิรภัยทุกครั้งที่ขับขี่รถจักรยานยนต์ คาดเข็มขัดนิรภัยทุกครั้งที่ขับรถยนต์ และห้ามเมาเด็ดขาด เพราะที่ผ่านมาอุบัติเหตุส่วนใหญ่เกิดจากเมาขับ
