  1. W T F is going on in this country, violent crime and murders reported daily along with rampant drug use and guns everywhere, it really is out of control and police have their focus on helmet fines
  2. yes trying to understand the point of the OP and came up with nothing - litterally nothing
  3. are you serious, standing on beach road outside soi 9 is far from proper police work
  4. this will have zero impact on the deaths on Thai roads, like I said before - a helmet would have little impact on the majority of mb accidents seen every day on Thai roads, it is carnage and brutal, perhaps a focus on drink driving - speeding - careless driving etc etc would have greater effect, a cheap plastic helmet will do nothing and for the record - I approve of wearing a quality helmet which will do nothing to protect against beinging rear end by a drunk in a pick-up truck
  5. encouraging this lawless behavior tells a lot about you the police should been called and let them deal with it lawfully
  6. he'd be better sitting with that tiny thing disturbing behavior - why would someone do this, obviously has mental issues
  7. have you ever actually been to the scene of an accident.....I have......many if you need to be right then you are right....in the simple world you live I am saying "always wear a helmet" , I am also saying that in Thailand wearing a helmet would not ha saved the lives of most reported accidents................ my advice is always wear a helmet but don't expect it to save you when a drunk runs over you. I have a big bike here but I avoid riding it in the early hours
  8. you are not correct but you have to add an element of - what other factors are in play, if you look at most published motorbike fatalities "in Thailand" a helmet would not have saved them, helmets help in low speed impacts - 20kph, think of it this way, would you jump from the 2nd floor of a building (condo) wearing the most expensive helmet you could buy ......head first and expect to survive, I can tell you now you would not survive and that is a 30kph impact.......you would break your neck - yes if lucky to survive you'd have a headache lol I would never say a helmet is not worth wearing and would encourage everyone to wear one but it will only save you in very limited ways - so if that 1 in 100 chance saves you it is worth it, most people die of severe internal trauma in motorbike accidents ...........their head is usually still there
  9. lets remove the confusion - wearing helmet would have saved 0 lives in 99.9 % of accidents we have a country that is in denial - yes fatalities on Thai roads are huge - worst in the world I can think of 10 things that would reduce the fatality rate and wearing a helmet is not one of the lets start with drunk driving
  10. motorbike taxi's are an issue, helmets are an issue due to the quality and cleanliness
  11. when a visa agent can open an account in your name - get a letter of funds deposited for extensions (no seasoning) then close the account minutes later makes a mockery of any banking rules, it is a joke
  12. how many tanker trucks have been involved in serious accidents these last 2 weeks, it was a petrol tanker a few days ago
  13. lesson - don't allow Chinese contractors to have anything to do with construction in Thailand as for building control - well no surprises there
  14. it's no worse than a flu, move on nothing to see here
  15. are you serious Thailand has the worst accident fatality rate in the world, it is seriouly horrific and sad that the government doesn't see it as the number 1 issue in the country, it really is shocking, Prawit was responsible in the past now anutin..........pretty much says it all RIP
