| Thailand has motorcycle laws. Each rider must wear a helmet, and no more than two on the bike. The laws are observed by only half the riders (at least outside of Bangkok). I cringe every time I see a baby on board. The motor scooter is the major mode of "family" transportation. Parents pick their child up from school. Many think they are only going a short distance, so why wear a helmet? The whole year we have lived here, I have not heard nor seen any type of campaign to improve motorcycle safety for children. Motorcycle accidents are a leading cause of death for children in Thailand, 2nd only to drowning. .jpg) |
| Family transportation. |
 |
| This woman is holding a cellphone, not the child. |
 |
| Going at a high speed. |
 |
| Waiting at a light, but the child stood the whole ride. |
 |
| At least the adult in the rear is holding the child. |
 |
| Standing on the runner is a favorite way to ride. |
