If you travel around Thailand you pass through numerous Police stops and rarely even get stopped, usually waved through, on my Isaan ride a few weeks we got waved through probably 8 to 10 stops, and this is in a group of 8 bikes all with extra lighting
One stop on hwy 12 was a speed trap and I had been clocked @ $1.30 so was fined 500baht, funny enough I was a bit further back of the group and all of them were waved through, I imagine it was difficult to identify so many bikes, all with extra lights in the same photo
In the photographic evidence I was asked if this was me, hard to argue because it was, and the photo showed my extra lighting, very bright 4 lights, 2 x white and 2 x yellow
Often when I ride long distances by myself, I choose to have the flashing light option turned on, for my own safety, not so much on dual carriageways with a median strip though
Lets hope this rumour just passes and gets forgotten, extra lighting should be standard on motorcycles for our safety IMO
