DUI violators asked to volunteer at nursing homes
MACTV-NEWS
How to prevent drunk driving from happening is a pressing issue. The Ministry of Transportation has decided to extend the lecture hours for violators from six to 12. The Taitung Motor Vehicles Office has cooperated with social welfare group to send drivers to volunteer at nursing homes for people in persistent vegetative state. The initiative will start in March.
Drunk Drivers In Thailand May Be Forced To Work In A Morgue huffingtonpost.com
The country is one of the worst in the world when it comes to road deaths.
If this doesn’t make drunk drivers change their ways, not much will.
Repeat traffic offenders and drunk drivers in Thailand could be forced to work in hospital morgues. The country’s cabinet approved the potential punishment last week, ahead of a celebration known for its heavy drinking and traffic accidents.
Thousands of road deaths occur in the country every year, and officials hope the community service penalty will serve as a harsh deterrent against repeat road offenses.
“They [offenders] should see the actual physical and mental damage,” said Anurak Amornpetchsathaporn, emergency response director at Thailand’s Bureau of Public Health, according to The Associate Press.
“In the morgue, they will have to be cleaning up and transporting bodies, so that hopefully they would feel the pain, so that they may understand and attain a good conscience, so that it [they] could be safer on the roads,” he added.
Working with corpses is likely to be a more effective punishment than sweeping roads or pruning trees, Probation Department official Nonjit Netpukana told Thai publication The Nation.
It is unclear whether the offenders would have to work with the bodies of people who died in accidents with which they were involved.
Thailand is one of the world’s worst countries when it comes to road deaths, World Health Organization statistics indicate. Thailand reports that over 14,000 people in the country died from road accidents last year, but WHO estimates put the figure closer to 24,000.
Thailand is not the first country to come up with unusual laws to prevent road accidents. In Cyprus, anyone who eats or drinks while driving — even if it’s water — is subject to an 85 euro (about $97) fine. And in Switzerland, people who wear glasses or contact lenses must carry an extra pair of spectacles in their vehicles at all time.

How to Stop Procrastinating With the “2–Minute Rule” jamesclear.com
I call this little strategy the “2–Minute Rule” and the goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing.
Here’s the deal…
Most of the tasks that you procrastinate on aren’t actually difficult to do — you have the talent and skills to accomplish them — you just avoid starting them for one reason or another.
The 2–Minute Rule overcomes procrastination and laziness by making it so easy to start taking action that you can’t say no.
There are two parts to the 2–Minute Rule…
Part 1 — If it takes less than two minutes, then do it now.
Part I comes from David Allen's bestselling book, Getting Things Done.
It’s surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less. For example, washing your dishes immediately after your meal, tossing the laundry in the washing machine, taking out the garbage, cleaning up clutter, sending that email, and so on.
If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, then follow the rule and do it right now.
Part 2 — When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.
Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously not.
But, every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less. And that’s the purpose behind this little rule.
It might sound like this strategy is too basic for your grand life goals, but I beg to differ. It works for any goal because of one simple reason: the physics of real life.
The Physics of Real Life
As Sir Isaac Newton taught us a long time ago, objects at rest tend to stay at rest and objects in motion tend to stay in motion. This is just as true for humans as it is for falling apples.
The 2–Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia of life. Once you start doing something, it’s easier to continue doing it. I love the 2–Minute Rule because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started.
Want to become a better writer? Just write one sentence (2–Minute Rule), and you’ll often find yourself writing for an hour.
Want to eat healthier? Just eat one piece of fruit (2–Minute Rule), and you’ll often find yourself inspired to make a healthy salad as well.
Want to make reading a habit? Just read the first page of a new book (2–Minute Rule), and before you know it, the first three chapters have flown by.
Want to run three times a week? Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, just get your running shoes on and get out the door (2–Minute Rule), and you’ll end up putting mileage on your legs instead of popcorn in your stomach.
The most important part of any new habit is getting started — not just the first time, but each time. It’s not about performance, it’s about consistently taking action. In many ways, getting started is more important than succeeding. This is especially true in the beginning because there will be plenty of time to improve your performance later on.
