songhklasid Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 A simple & life saving measure for the population of thailand ?cut the carnage on the countries road network? Save millions of baht annually in accident costs? THE ANSWER IS ENFORCE BIKE HELMET LAWS ! manufacture cool thai design ones that the populace will like to wear. NEXT STEP A T.V. ADD CAMPAIGN DEMONSTRATING SAFE DRIVING/RIDING HABITS ALSO GRAPHIC COMMERCIALS SHOWING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DONT WEAR A HELMET (WATERMELON HEADED DUMMY WOULD DO THE TRICK) NEXT STEP OVERLOADED TRUCKS /OVERWORKED BUS DRIVERS, ANOTHER T.V. COMMERCIAL CAMPAIGN TARGETTING THIS AREA TO RAISE AWARENESS, COMPANY RESPONSIBILITIES. If a leader could implement these sweeping changes for the better & show results, his/ her voter karma would skyrocket. regards songhklasid.

GuestHouse Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Observation - As a rough estimate only around 10~15% of Thai motorcyclist will bother with a helmet, either wear one all the time, or don the helmet when the enter areas with a high likelihood of being caught by the cops. The other 85~90% don't even have the foresight to carry a helmet as a cop dodging strategy. Meanwhile helmet compliance amongst Thailand's sports cyclist is near 100% - OK Thais like dressing up, but go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

necronx99 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Helmets increase medical costs, not decrease them. Why? because you are far less likely to survive the initial accident and require medical care at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whybother Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Helmets increase medical costs, not decrease them. Why? because you are far less likely to survive the initial accident and require medical care at all. Not necessarily. Wearing a helmet, you may be able to walk away from an accident with a few scrapes. Not wearing one might leave you in hospital as a vegetable.
