joe84330 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 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. maybe i should run a spell check as someone private messeged me and told me that everyone thinks i am a buffoon. or something like that. don't believe everything you read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No helmet would save your life in a head on collosion with a car but even those cheaper helmets are some protection. Depends on what type of crash you have. trust me.

samuijimmy Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Tourist Police at Bophut Town Center have several signs ready for erecting . White with Read helmet saying 100%. There have been signs like this in Nanthon for several months now... Both Thai and English.... but it does not take a Rocket scientist to figure out the Thai version....

longtom Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Nathon has seen more controls in the last month, looks like they start to take it more seriously. On several days the BiB were standing on many places at the same time, often only stopping and giving the offenders a stern but friendly warning, without taking money. Totally shocking and unheard of behaviour. The increased checks even have a visible effect, many more driving with helmets now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
