Yesterday, on the way home from the pub (in a taxi), I witnessed a crash between a motorbike and a car. Traffic was backed up for a few minutes and when It was my turn to pass I saw the driver of the bike pick up a baby girl that had been with him on his scooter when it crashed - with no bleeding helmet!
Thankfully the girl was still alive but was crying her eyes out and her leg was covered in blood.
That could easily have been her head.....
What is wrong with these people that they are so irresponsible as to not put a helmet on their child's head before driving the bike?
Are they lacking in education, awareness or are they just too damn lazy to do it?
They can afford the bike, so why not a child's helmet from Tesco?
I see the same thing day in day out, parents driving bikes at high speed with kids on the front and no crash helmet...
Will the Thai's ever learn?
