The Spanish government has passed a draft law that will allow citizens aged over 14 to change their gender without evidence.

Under the proposals, citizens will be able to change their name and gender without the need for proof or witnesses.

The administrative procedure will also do away with health reports and the need for medical and legal guardianship.

The proposed law by the Socialist government is intended to improve rights for transgender citizens in Spain.

"With this bill, we intend to overcome this historical invisibility, stigmatisation, and lack of recognition of the rights of LGTB+ people," said the government spokesperson, María Jesús Montero.

The draft law still requires approval from Spain's parliament and the terms of the legislation could change.

Driving Slow in the Right Lane Soon to Become a Punishable Offense in Thailand

  BANGKOK – Motorists in Thailand driving at low speed in right-hand lanes will soon be subjected to fines, thanks to the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), giving a nod in principle to a draft law amending the Land Traffic Act yesterday.

The proposed law will also allow the use of an electronic driver’s licenses.

Police representative Pol Maj-General Ekkalak Limsankart also called for new regulations to be issued that are clear and can prevent violators from evading justice.

He cited a section in the draft law that will ban drunk people from riding bicycles on public roads or face a Bt500 fine, which he said was a response to drunk cyclists who, despite being arrested, managed to evade conviction because the current drunk-driving law excludes cyclists.

NLA members in principle approved the draft amendment of the Land Traffic Act in its first reading with 157:0 votes, two abstentions and one failure to cast a vote.

A special committee was subsequently set up to consider the draft law.

Before voting, NLA members offered several suggestions including measures to detect corruption in issuing tickets, a review of using CCTV images to issue tickets as some motorists claim they were not driving at the time of the offense and measures |allowing officers’ discretion in case of such error.

Many NLA members also called for motorists hogging the right-hand lane at low speed to be punished and for heavily |loaded trucks to be kept off the right-hand lane.

Traffic Regulation

Driving slowly in the right-hand lane poses a great risk of road accidents, especially when being overtaken from the left, the assembly heard.

Ekkalak told the NLA meeting that a ministerial regulation was being written and is nearly ready that will make driving slowly on the right-hand lane a traffic offense.

He also said that many motorists ignored traffic tickets until their driving score drops so low that their driver’s licence needs to be suspended.

Hence, he said, every motorist should be required to attend training on traffic regulations and must pass the exam to restore their scores.

Also, forcing them to pay for the training will discourage motorists from repeating the offense, he added. As for a digital version of driving licenses, Ekkalak said the draft law’s wording should be changed to allow the digital version to be legal or a regulation on such matter should be formulated and later sent for the Cabinet’s nod. The Department of Land Transport launched the digital license app on January 15, but police have refused to accept it under the current law and continue imposing fines if motorists fail to present a physical license.

Ekkalak also suggested that, since a driving license is mostly intended to identify the driver, it can be eliminated if the information is included in the smart national ID cards.
