Plans are under deliberation to buy state-of-the-art cameras as currently used in the UK and the US. (Pattanapong Hirunard)Road safety experts have voiced their support for a plan to buy state-of-the-art speed cameras, as used in the UK and the US, to help reduce the country's sky-high accident rate. "Modern speed cameras support police work as they can record speed and licence plates and electronically transmit this information to the municipality to process," Pol Gen Teeraphol said. The mobile speed cameras used in Phuket cost 970,000 baht apiece. Around 50% of people who use cars in Thailand drive over the speed limit, with a total of 280 million baht in fines last year.
