All have killed people, and therefore must be banned. <br />I'm being facetious, of course.

If the wind suddenly gusted you could easily trap a hand or finger. Also a badly affixed knocker might fall on your foot.<br />RHYMES You mean those big yellow American school buses still don't have passenger seatbelts? That's crazy!<br />NALDO Thanks for calling by. I don't mean to be rude but I think your method for establishing better road safety is slightly excessive.<br />BOOTHIE On the front page of "The Star" last night there was a shock horror photo of a motorcyclist with his small child sitting astride his petrol tank. The kid was by the way wearing a helmet! Bangkokians, Indians, South Americans, Africans would be utterly bemused. Where's the story? What's the problem?Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-22159724496942442472010-02-23T14:16:09.510+00:002010-02-23T14:16:09.510+00:00I've been done twice- once as a driver, once a...I've been done twice- once as a driver, once as a passenger. You're right you get into a habit with the non-wearing.<br /><br />You can do what you want in Thailand of course. I once saw a scooter with two large boxes roped to the back and two small Thai women balancing on the top of the boxes. What would South Yorkshire's finest think of that? Probably spit thei greasy tea into their Sun newspapers no doubt.<br /><br />Belt Up!Bangkok Boothyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254842147773311112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-37212501032482094242010-02-22T20:24:43.294+00:002010-02-22T20:24:43.294+00:00I think seat belts should be banned and every moto...I think seat belts should be banned and every motor vehicle should be fitted with a nasty big spike on the steering wheel/handle bars. <br /><br />This driver's coupon would be mortally spiked if they braked too hard or bumped into something.<br /><br />We'd all drive a lot slower.naldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563789247589179756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-37274913735958300422010-02-22T19:49:40.170+00:002010-02-22T19:49:40.170+00:00I think the figure in the U.S. for people killed i...I think the figure in the U.S. for people killed in auto accidents is (or was several years ago) 57,000 per year, exceeding the number of Americans killed in the entire Vietnam War. <br /><br />Maybe we could begin with school buses.

The statistics about motorbikes are certainly sobering and, unfortunately, they don't just put themselves at risk but any other poor souls who happen to be sharing the road with them.Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.com
