It's like that everywhere in Thailand ...

Thats fine by me, if you have all your papers in order

nothing to worry about, and if it just makes one person

wear a crash helmet,or someone that has no license 

or insurance are caught ,that's OK .

I'm impressed with how many motorcyclists are wearing helmets now. I was at the intersection of Mahidol rd and the old Lamphun rd the other day, the light turned green for south bound traffic and 12 of the first 14 riders had helmets on. It used to be the exception to see anyone with a helmet, if the checks are responsible, keep doing them.

Baby steps I know but having a helmet that is a construction hat, military helmet, or little more than a cap, or with the structural integrity of an ice cream container baffles me no end.

 

People are wearing cheap helmets, that I sometimes think would cause more damage in an accident, so as to avoid a fine rather than any concern for safety.

 

Far better to have rigorous enforcement AND a mandatory minimum standard of helmet if there were genuine concern rather than a tea money exercise.

...and yet I would have to question how many of those wearing helmets actually had the strap fastened.
