Funny thing here in Canada, helmet laws are mandatory for riding motorcycles. They say it is a safety issue. I agree but if you like to wear a turban you do not have to wear a helmet. I guess my life is more valuable than an Indians.

No Canadians are just to weak to separate religion and law. If a Sikh is involved in a motorcycle accident and receives a head injury he should be responsible for all costs.

I'd rail on the locals for lack of safety concerns....but then every time I go downtown, I see at least one expat driving his motorbike on the wrong side of the road or without a helmet or a child on the same without a helmet. No doubt, though, all the expats with young children have child safety seats in their vehicles or at least properly buckled in with seatbelts. In my mind, at least the local have an excuse.......they're still a developing country.

What does being a developing country have to do with basic common sense. If you choose to wear a helmet or not, its "UP TO YOU" would be the Thais response.

You're absolutely right.....nothing to do with 'a developing country'.
The blue states generally require helmets for riders under 20, but many of the blue require only for riders 17 and under.

Thankyou.
Obviously 300 mil Darwin Award recipients in that 3rd world country too.
Some of the nasty comments on here defy description.
Lets just say i wish they all just went back home in a non polite way, to their sensible safe countries and left us to the peace and quiet and anarchy of Thai roads and road users.
