Report Pattaya Motorbike Drivers Protest Strict Helmet Law Fines
I firmly believe that laws mandating the use of proper safety equipment - such as helmets - are of critical importance, and not merely for the protection of the individual who chooses to ride. Consider the following scenarios: Scenario A: A motorcyclist recklessly pulls out of an alley without looking. My wife, driving her car, is unable to stop in time and hits him. He isn't wearing a helmet. His head strikes the ground with fatal consequences. Though entirely blameless, my wife is left emotionally traumatised by an incident that could have been survivable. Scenario B: Same situation, but this time the motorcyclist is wearing a certified, protective helmet. He hits the ground, sustains minor injuries - perhaps a few bruises - but walks away. No lasting harm, no trauma for my wife. Now let’s imagine a more complicated scenario: Scenario C: My wife changes lanes, unaware of a motorcyclist speeding up the inside. She clips him. He loses control, is not wearing a helmet, and suffers fatal or life-altering head injuries. My wife is devastated, but now also legally liable for compensation, despite the fact that the extent of his injuries was entirely avoidable by wearing a helmet. Scenario D: Identical circumstances, but this time the rider is wearing a proper helmet. He comes off the bike, but the injuries are minor. There may be medical costs, but they’re manageable and typically covered by insurance. The key point here is this: the rider’s decision not to wear a helmet doesn’t just affect him - it potentially affects everyone around him. We all make mistakes from time to time while driving. It’s part of being human. But should we really be forced to bear the emotional and legal consequences of someone else’s negligence in not taking basic precautions for their own safety? Therefore, in the event of an accident where fault lies with the driver, but the severity of the motorcyclist’s injuries is clearly exacerbated by their decision to wear a substandard or no helmet at all - surely, there should be legal grounds to limit liability. The consequences of someone refusing to take responsibility for their own safety should not be unfairly shifted onto others who do - thats why laws exist... to protect others from people who simply do not see the big picture.... -
