Punishment for drink-drivers and repeat traffic offenders in Thailand could include mandatory work experience in morgues under new plans by authorities to try and reduce accidents and fatalities on the country's roads.

Thailand, which has the second worst record in the world for traffic fatalities, has tried numerous tactics to curb drink-driving and motorcyclist's riding without helmets, including threatening to impound repeat offender's vehicles during the annual Songkran holiday.
