Helmet 100% campaign in Buriram

[sao baht]

At the start of the campaign you got a Crash Helmet  along with your 100 baht fine when flagged down for not wearing protective headgear while riding a motorcycle 

 


Shame it was a publicity stunt that didn't continue

I bet she rarely wears it!

I bet she rarely wears it!

And she has the obligatory needle on the red fuel gauge   

[Prakhonchai Nick]

Never mind the helmet -did she have a driving licence? She doesn't look old enough!

Come on Nick .... that's like taking Chang to court for causing drink driver 

Not really.

The government make the laws, therefore they should enforce them for everyones safety. That their employees refuse to do so needs responsible action. If they do not oversee their employees actions, then they should be held accountable.

All big business bosses carry the can for the serious mistakes of their employees

It might be a start in the right direction if the Big Man in Buriram was to set an example,as he is often seen riding around along with his pals with no crash helmet on.

You were obviously looking at that picture without your glasses on Nick

She would be a grandmother for sure

Everyone wears helmets in BKK, so why not Isaan?

The only excuse is a lazy & inefficiant police force.

Just a reminder to wear your Crash helmet ( and the Family )  ......this was taken from Surin Farang today after Vlad drove home from the pub with his wife and didn't wear a Helmet

It was my 61st birthday yesterday and I arrived in Sisaket at noon yesterday. Natty had a small birthday party for me and amongst the honoured guests was our moderator. He and his significant other left about midnight and we got a call 3 minutes after they had departed, Pui said they had hit a dog and then the road. (No helmets)

When we got there David was bleeding from the inside of his left ear. We drove him to Sisaket public hospital and after an hour wait took him to the private hospital in Sisaket . David kept asking why he was at the hospital, I would explain and 5 minutes later he would ask again. He just wanted to go home and sleep.

We left after Pui's family arrived but received a call about 2 am that he had broken his collar bone and had a serious head injury. I believe he was transferred to Ubon Hospital. The information I have is sketchy at best, Natty was intoxicated and Pui was obviously in an emotional state. I understand money was needed on the spot with insurance to cover the costs later.

I will do my best to find out what the prognosis is, but a head's up that one of us in in serious difficulties and the rest of us need to step up and help out as best we can!

So wear your crash helmet lads and don't be stupid or lazy !!!!!!

Get well soon Vlad
