RE: Rant of the Week: Road Safety in Thailand

in #thailand7 years ago

someone else commented about how they don't like the government telling people what they have to do and I completely agree with him / her and I recognize that what you are saying is also a real thing and I agree with you in that situation. No one should be penalized for being poor... It's like that idiot PM in the U.K. that suggested that people living on the streets should pay a fine for being homeless.

I don't want to force anyone to wear a helmet or a seatbelt. I guess I just don't know why a population that realizes they are in a very dangerous situation on some of the most dangerous roads in the world and also almost certainly know at least one person who has died in that exact situation.... would actively choose to not wear the one thing that can keep their head on their bodies.

I wear mine and encourage my friends (and my staff in the past when i had them) to always wear theirs. I guess that's the best I can hope for
