Besides what is obviously wrong with this,there is also another aspect to it,When grown ups teach children,that they don`t need to care about the law,they also teach them disrespect for the law in other situations,for instance when it comes to red light. But,mai pen rai..... I concur - same in my village, getting younger every time. What irks me more is the obviously proud, smiling parent on the back - 'teaching' them how to stop and go but nothing else. When I once asked my wife how these parents may feel when a chid dies on a motorbike, she said, seriously - no worries they will cry a bit then just have another baby. A few others have told me the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also finished the season 3rd in 85cc, 12-y/o class. He can wheelie, hit massive jumps, all that. Not too worried when he rides the Wave around. Then he is no doubt a safe and respectful street rider, regardless of not having a valid license. Since he's a expert rider I'm sure he also has the judgment and prudence of an adult even at 9 years old. I feel so much better now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I use to train people new to motorcycle riding in UK. I share your concern and have tried to offer my help to kids via my wife to know avail. I would of kept training to a controlled bike awareness. if I train them in my UK road craft it would probably put them in danger. I learnt to road ride here again in Thailand myself to get to know what to expect of what are Thai drivers/rider going do regardless of the film they watch at DLT's. Safety here to me is to know what is not expected as well as what is expected in certain situations. Edited June 15, 2020 by Kwasaki 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
