Re: Riding without a helmet
We have the same morons in Temple Town, usually hanging out at Laundry Bar, getting drunk and/or stoned and then barreling all over town, obviously helmet-less.
Re: Riding without a helmet
I think it's time to ban all foreigners from riding motorbikes and motorcycles in Phnom Penh proper. For a number of years, these white and black people have demonstrated terribly dangerous and careless behavior whilst making the safety of all citizens at risk of their reckless abandonment of driving protocol.
Therefore, I am recommending that all foreigners be banned immediately from riding motorbikes and motorcycles in the city of Phnom Penh.
And if they kneel for the anthem, they are son of a bitches and should be sent to Singapore.
Yours Truly,
Donald J. Trump.

Re: Riding without a helmet
If people want to put their own lives at risk by riding helmet less then that's their choice...but putting their children's lives at risk by not making them wear helmets is more than irresponsible, makes me fucking sick when I see children's lives been put at risk!
...and don't even get me started on people who drive/ride drunk, I've got no sympathy for them if they kill/injure themselves, but they put the lives of everyone else using the roads at risk

Re: Riding without a helmet
Acting responsible is the word. Take care of yourselves on the roads, and give thoughts for other road users.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Re: Riding without a helmet
You see it all the time in the Netherlands. So-called light motos do not require a helmet and can be used in bike lanes. They are sold with limiters set at 25kph but once the limiter has been removed the 50cc motos can do 65kph. I must admit I was shocked to see it. I felt like I was back in PP, except that they stuck to the right side of the road.

Re: Riding without a helmet
I spent a month in Germany and my moped got a little tuning here and there. With some wind from behind, I'd do just over 80kph. Highly illegal and certainly not safe though I did wear a helmet.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2017 3:02 pm You see it all the time in the Netherlands.

Re: Riding without a helmet
Helmets for me are the same as seatbelts. Minor inconvenience which can make the difference between life and death. So I see people not using them as part of natural selection.

Re: Riding without a helmet
Here, it is also some sort of fatalism. Had this conversation with a Vietnamese friend who did not put on his seatbelt. His reply was "if my number comes up, it comes up".L'Algerino wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2017 4:43 pm Helmets for me are the same as seatbelts.
