The Traffic Police Department warns that vehicle confiscation is strictly enforced for street racers who speed on public roads. In the latest case, the "TEENOSIE" group raced on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. The court ordered vehicle confiscation, installation of electronic monitoring devices (EM), and driver's license suspension for every offender.
On 24 Sep 2026, Pol. Lt. Gen. Nithithorn Jintakanon, Commander of the Traffic Police Education Division and head of the Traffic Police Image Enhancement Team at the National Police Traffic Management Center, cautioned all road users—especially those who gather to drive at high speeds, race on public roads, or drive recklessly without regard for others' safety—to be aware of the dangers to themselves and fellow travelers. He emphasized that traffic police will strictly enforce the law in every case.
This follows the case where officers from the Vibhavadi Rangsit Traffic Control Center and Expressway, Traffic Police Division 2, collected evidence and brought four offenders from the car group named “TEENOSIE” into legal proceedings for speeding and racing on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road.
On 23 Sep 2026, the Don Mueang District Court sentenced all four defendants to one month in prison and a 10,000 baht fine each, with the prison sentence suspended for one year and probation for one year. They are required to report to authorities four times, complete 24 hours of community service, have their driver's licenses suspended for 180 days, wear electronic monitoring devices (EM) for 15 days, and are forbidden from leaving their homes between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. Additionally, the court ordered the confiscation of all four vehicles as state property; the combined value of the vehicles exceeds 4 million baht.
Pol. Lt. Gen. Nithithorn stated that public roads are not racetracks. Driving at high speeds or racing recklessly for thrills can lead to serious accidents and cause trouble for other road users. Importantly, offenders must face legal consequences. In this case, the vehicles were confiscated, licenses suspended, and EM devices installed. He urged those exhibiting such behavior to cease their actions and strictly respect the law.
He also praised officers from Traffic Police Division 2 for not overlooking offenses detected on the road. While conducting alcohol checkpoints on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, officers noticed the group’s vehicles speeding and racing. The officers acted cautiously, prioritizing safety, and chose not to pursue the speeding cars on motorcycles, which could increase accident risk. Instead, they used current technology to review CCTV footage from multiple points where the races occurred, collecting technological evidence to identify and prosecute all four offenders. This reflects their commitment to law enforcement and public safety.
If anyone witnesses such offenses, they can report tips to the Highway Police hotline at 1193, Traffic Police Division hotline at 1197, or the National Police hotlines at 191 and 1599, available 24 hours. They may also send dashcam footage of incidents to the volunteer traffic police Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/dashcamvolunteer to aid investigations and legal actions.
