Correctly stop movement seems a trifling matter, however, the slightest mistake can lead to injury and danger to others. In order to avoid such cases, you should simply memorize the following points:
- It is necessary to start braking process in advance, having calculated an end point of a stop;
- To stop without negative consequences, apply both the rear and front brakes at the same time;
- Do not make sudden braking, which creating a danger to others;
- Always consider the weather conditions, because it depends on the braking distance and the effectiveness of the brake system.

If you follow these simple, but important rules, it will not only simplify and protect the driving of scooter, but also make your trip pleasant and comfortable!

1. The first thing you need to remember when arriving on the island of Phuket - in Thailand, left-hand traffic.

2. At the crossroads of the green traffic light is lit for only one traffic lane, because of this left turn on red is allowed.

3. Turning left at a red traffic light is allowed, while passing passing vehicles, if the corresponding blue sign is installed.

4. Helmet under movement on scooter is obligatory, ALTHOUGH you can discern, that from local almost no one them not enjoys. BUT! If you are a visitor, the helmet on his head to be obliged, otherwise-a fine! And of course it is important to remember about safety.

5. When driving the car in the rain, the headlights should be turned on, because the climate in Thailand makes visibility in such periods the most minimal!

6. As for overtaking. Overtaking is allowed only on the right side. But remember, that local rarely abide by this rule!

7. Many for some reason it seems that if they are in a foreign country, then they are allowed everything, including driving under the influence. We just remind you that it's life-THREATENING! The size of the fine for driving under the influence of alcohol is from 20,000 baht and above. And we must remember that you need to pay on the spot a policeman. Failing to do so, the driver immediately ends up in a Thai jail pending trial with a minimum term of 2 days. That's the law in Thailand. Absolutely no alcohol should be in the Cup holders between the front seats in the car. Passengers who wish to drink while driving should be in the rear.

8. The sign "Main road" is almost impossible to see, although the principle of its operation is similar to the generally accepted rules. At the intersection in the absence of a sign it is better to be safe and proceed from the rule of equivalence of roads.

9. The driver must pass the transport by the rule of "interference on the left", but in practice-who needs it most. The exception to the rule is the ring, which is considered the "main road".

10. Parking is prohibited near the curbs, painted in red and white stripes. If you still parked at the curb, then be prepared to pay a fine of 1000 baht. Police officers appear here very quickly, because on all roads and even small CCTV cameras work!

11. Yellow and white markings on the curbs mean that it is a Parking place for taxis and public transport. Parking in such places is also prohibited. This is fraught with scratches on your car or punctured wheels. Be careful! Taxi drivers and tuk-tuks are not very friendly when occupying their Parking spaces.

12. Remember that it is not necessary to argue with the police. It is better to immediately follow all their instructions, if you do not want to get to the police station for further proceedings.

13. Now in Phuket there are cameras that record driving without a helmet and speeding. If the name of our company comes such a fine, it is paid from your Deposit.

14. It is very important to remember that while driving a car you need to wear seat belts. For not wearing a belt-a fine of 500 baht.

IT IS NECESSARY TO RETURN THE CAR IN THE SAME CONDITION IN WHICH YOU RECEIVED IT!

1. Clean
2. No new damage
3. With fuel level not lower than that which was at reception
4. And at the same time, as received, unless otherwise agreed.
I want to focus on the first point!
Ideally, it is necessary to hand over the car after a car wash or at least not dirty!
This condition is especially true for those who take the car for a period of 10 days or more.
Don't worry, sinks in Phuket are very cheap. For example, to wash the car will cost only 200-300 baht-complex!
The car can not be washed, if you do not have time to pollute it so much that ALL the details of the BODY are PERFECTLY VISIBLE to the fact of damage, including the lower part of the bumpers, thresholds and wings.

Attention!
If objectively assess the condition of the car body is difficult or not possible due to its heavy pollution (at the discretion of the host), the Deposit is not returned to the client, before re-inspection, after washing the car!
The interior of the car must also be in adequate condition! In addition to the integrity of all its elements, I put special emphasis on the state of the upholstery and ceiling. Everything must be dry, without any stains, stains and smoke smell, otherwise the tenant pays for dry cleaning!
Attention!
I will explain at once, and that some can object supposedly "...We same money pay, still and wash need to...»
This is not an impudent principle, but a forced measure, which appeared thanks to unscrupulous tenants who specifically handed over cars dirty, hiding the damage to the body under a layer of dirt, claiming that there were no accidents. It was after these disappointments, the vehicles upon delivery must be at least as dirty, to just simply SEE the state of the body!
With regards to the second point about the damage, then:
The maximum liability of the Tenant in case of an accident in which he is wrong is:
* on passenger cars economy and standard class - 10 000 baht
* for SUV - 20 000 baht
In an accident in which the Tenant is right to pay nothing.
In case of any minor damage that the Tenant does himself, without the participation of second and third parties (for example, when Parking accidentally damaged the bumper), the Tenant is responsible for the Deposit, in proportion to the damage, but not more than the amount of maximum liability.
Assessment of the cost of damage and downtime is carried out by the car service.⠀
About the fuel level I think everything is clear.
And a reminder that the lease term is calculated in days, not days. For example, you took the car for 3 days, and you delivered it on Monday at 11: 00 am, so you will need to take the car on Thursday at 11: 00 am!
It follows that by default, the car will come to pick up at the same time at which it was brought To you, unless otherwise agreed in advance.
