Kids Wearing Helmets On A Motorbike Sidecar.

[Cuban]

Shock News ! People wearing helmets while riding on a motorbike with headlights on.

This is such a rare event, it is newsworthy in this country, I expect it to be covered on national TV.

Good stuff !!!

Think it was a stunt ? If so, well done, as it makes helmet-donning quite cool in a Thai way. And if not, same applies & excellent work on the part of the policeman and, of course, the riders. Hope this family continue to gain face and approval & others follow suit (or "hat").

Hope this item makes front page in the Thai media.

Just think what would happen to the death & injury incidence if helmets became the rule rather than the exception. Seem to be quite a few road checks going on in Chiang Mai lately. Some campaign going on ? Some ads featuring helmeted pop & film stars could work ... I think fear of helmet hair may be quite a deterrent to the young here.

just sums up the majority of Thais, laughing at there fellow country folk for having common sense to protect there family...

Good on them!,

Unusual vehicle. A motorbike and side car with a vinyl roof on a frame. Would be hard to control on a windy day.

Not provided all is aligned correctly , more to attaching a side car than just a few nuts and bolts , at one time considered the safest vehicle on the road with the lowest insurance rates and accident statistics .

Go wickadoodle it or whatever , feel sure you can find it somewhere in your vast library of statistical lore .

Of course in the UK its unecessary to wear a helmet as a sidecar passenger........... that must be why Thais wear them, it makes sense u know ahaa

Very common here. Not so much the bull-in-a-pickup though.

I meant with the roof up.. You could be off like Mary Poppins and end up in the sea.
