Popular Post webfact Posted August 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2018 Video: Police praised for tying little one onto dad on motorcycle Picture: Thai Rath A video posted on the Facebook page of police in the north east of Thailand showed a cop tying a cloth and using a cord to secure a little girl to her dad on a motorcycle. The cops had seen the father riding with one hand and holding onto his daughter with the other. Ban Klang cops in Nakorn Panom deemed this to be unsafe and called him over at a checkpoint. But rather than fine him they helped out with the unusual "safety harness". They then advised the dad to get helmets and waved him cheerily on his way. Thai Rath reported that public comment on the story was praiseworthy for the police.

No hope for what? a safe & affordable public transportation system for all or the hope that people won't need to venture out and should just stay at home? ? Its a "developing country" quite what it is developing into is beyond me, though it remains a great source for uneducated cheap wage slaves for the ruling elites! ?

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Well, the "peasants" across in Vietnam are way more poor than the people in Thailand, BUT they manage to drive on one side of the road and wear helmets. I never blame people for being less fortunate than myself, but I also don't accept poverty as an excuse for stupidity. It doesn't matter how poor you are - you should protect your children to the best of your ability. That means, if you can afford a motorbike, you can afford a helmet. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike324 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I've seen this on the streets quite often nowadays, dad picking up the kids from school and tying the kids to themselves, just last week I also saw a little girl wearing a helmet also which is quite rare, wanted to give the dad a thumbs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
