carmine Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Have people noticed the amount of helmet checks that are taking place now almost on a daily basis? Perhaps this is finally going to be enforced. Other than that its going to be very expensive for those that will not wear one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Probably more road blocks because of elections. So if u hit a road block even though they are looking for trouble makers they'll still do u for helmets whilst they are there and all set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Helmet checks are happening on a regular basis in Ban Rak (I am glad to say). Let's hope that it encourages more people to wear helmets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe84330 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 they're only happening so much lately because the TIB (T is for thieves) can't get enough out of bars and clubs right now. if and once people ever start coming back, the helmet checks will fade back into the background. i'm ok with people around here not wearing helmets, so many darwin award candidates here that putting helmets delays the inevitable a bit more than necessary.

As for the police wanting money if they write you a receipt then the police do not get that money. the only time it is corrupt is if the policeman would ask for money then put it in his pocket then send you on your way. Funnily enough i have never seen that style on Samui unlike bangkok and Hua hin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 i'm ok with people around here not wearing helmets, so many darwin award candidates here that putting helmets delays the inevitable a bit more than necessary. That sentence is so stupid i think even you must think so. That is like saying that seat belts encourage crashes. If people are stupid enough to think that helmets make them invisable. then they would probably wear them all the time. The truth is that they reduce your risk of death by about 80 %. Your head is a very improtant part of the body. you cannot brake your head like u can brake an arm or a leg and wait for it to heal. you fall a few feet onto bear concrete and you can kiss your releatives behinde while u r floating up to the sky. The alternative is wearing a hemet and haveing a smashed bike and a few scratch marks on you. Samui has a really bad rep. for death on the roads. do we really need the police to nanny us. can't we just use our own loafs. I hate England the govement telling us what we can and can't do but people are just like a bunch of lemons. unless there is a force telling what we can and can't do we just become lemons... i never thought i would saying or write something like that. must be age getting to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonsalviz Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Tourists are funny. I watched a policeman at Kata give a tourist a ticket because the only helmet he had was put on his 5 year old son riding with him. How stupid could he be? Yeah, I know the police or the tourist?

That sentence is so stupid i think even you must think so. i'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that your reading comprehension is as poor as your spelling and grammar. i don't want to discourage you though, while often times confusing and cryptic it does serve as a comedic counter weight and when the forum is slow i do enjoy trying to decipher your posts.

Boater Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Tourist Police at Bophut Town Center have several signs ready for erecting . White with Read helmet saying 100%. i also saw the as well, although they only have about 4 signs . They do look a bit like the signs you buy in the UK around christmas time asking snta to stop at your house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuian Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Authorities better get the rental business to ensure that the people they rent the bikes/cars to hold a validlicense and are CAPABLE of driving such vehicle! Everthing else is superfluous babbling... and yes, I know wishful thinking... The many, many "samui tattoos" and sparkling white bandages tell the story.

At least when i go for a ride round Samui Town Centre i get reminded to wear my helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe do i really have to run a spell check. Can't u get the jist of what i am saying. People always have a dig at my spelling when they have nothing else to back up their disagreement. i know people with master degrees that cannot spell. don't mistake bad grammer for lack of intelligence. I can spell if i need to. i type in a rush to get my point across even if that means not dotting and crossing the T's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe84330 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 this particular instance has nothing to do with spelling or grammar, it's more of a situation where a rather obvious attempt at humor has flown right over your head yet caused you to react in a rather disagreeable way. hence my comment about reading comprehension. i don't care if you ever use spell check, as long as you get the frist and lsat letters correct i can understand what you are trying to say.
