hobobo Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 "They then advised the dad to get helmets and waved him cheerily on his way" People who are stupid enough to ride without helmets should copy this story in their phones and, if caught, plead with the cops to advise them to get a helmet and wave them cheerily on their way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 And still no helmet for either... Thais love beating their heads against the tarmac or curb-side Farangs just beat their heads against a brick wall in dis-belief! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 And it's soo strange that thailand has the highes deadly roadaccidents of the world!

What the hell, police should have not allowed him to leave until both father and daughter were wearing helmets. Now hang on a second mate, that would mean that they would have to give them a ride home, too much trouble, and don't even try raising the matter about issuing him a with an infringement notice as that would be more work for them, dumb just getting dumber. On a more serious note these cops have zero respect from me, just the other day I was speeding on the main road, this cop was standing near a pedestrian crossing, he saw me and started to waive his hand at waist level slightly up and down as if to say slow down and I did, with him smiling as I passed, back in Sydney I would be under 60kmh, 40khm in school zones, I would have been toast as you cannot take your eye off your speedometer in fear of heavy fines and loss of points on your licence. Thailand is a long way off raising the bar, no fear here. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Like another poster said, if you can afford a bike, you can afford a helmet. At the very least put a helmet on the child. You can get them for about 200-300 baht. Considerably better than nothing. As for the Range Rover comment, I’ve seen plenty of kids in nice cars not wearing seat belts. Seems it’s not only the poor who have a disregard for health and safety.

I live near there… in my village 10 year olds are riding the motor bikes (and with no helmets) whilst younger kids and even a baby are on the back!!! There is no excuse for this. The parents are to blame and should have no sympathy for them if their children get seriously injured or killed..... my only sympathy is for the children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you post that believing I had actually bought one? The expression I used was 'I have seen one' I typed this slowly so it was easier for you to read. ??? Plus you missed the bit that it was the points of the screws that were inside, not the heads. Do keep up lad.
