Author Topic: Helmet as a Protection? (Read 4808 times)

Anytime today, as it was postponed from yesterday, the Land Transportation Office's Regional Flying Squad would be amassing in its impound motorcycles from lowly Boholanos who could not afford to Buy four-wheeled vehicles.

The possible imponding would not basically be from non-registration or from operator's failure to get a driver's license.

The biggest apprehension is that the LTO would go for the non-helmet wearing riders. Then, is he (driver) does have one, his motorcycle's signal lights, horns, side mirrors, modifications may not be that hard to nitpick especially when the rider has been flagged down.

Maybe, the flag down would be in the disguise of a random check point.

Believe me, after the news that broke out about the operation, outrageous violations could be just a pick away.

It started with the helmet, a convenient way to to flag down motorists.

My fear is that the helmet can just be used as a convenient way to cover the evil operation.

Helmet? well, didnt they know that those who have helmets are still not wearing it right? Or their substandard helmets bought at a shop could easily crack?

Then the petty violations. And then the habal-habal.

And then the endless list of i do not know what else.

Dura lex sed lex. May the law not be used as a convenient way to bleed dry out dried up brothers.

Legit kaha akong fears knowing the "track record" sa "notorious flying" or flip squad sa LTO?

they may have good intentions here, apo.
but because our law enforcement angencies like LTO have been tagged to be bunch of crooks, this makes the operation a little shadowy. albeit this is always the law to wear helmet on a motorcycle, but why the timing? it's hard to track down this violation, just as hard to keep an eye on those enforcers not to vulture the pockets of would-be violators. too bad, they (LTOs) may be into this again, especially in times like this when good intentions meet belly needs. whose voice to follow?

Riders with helmets had an 85 percent reduction in their risk of head injury (odds ratio, 0.15; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.07 to 0.29) and an 88 percent reduction in their risk of brain injury (odds ratio, 0.12; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.04 to 0.40). We conclude that bicycle safety helmets are highly effective in preventing head injury. Helmets are particularly important.

just shows inconsistency in the implementation of the rules... before i left almost two years ago, the helmet policy was strictly implemented... when i came home last december, there was not a single person who drives a motorcycle wearing a helmet... way klaro na lang gyud... kinahanglan unta nga kung aduna'y regulations, consistent ang pag enforce... dili kay andar andar lang... naunsa...

Glacier has a point there.

I had a friend who bought one of these helmets for compliance. He only has a Honda Dream kile what i have. He laso has got nice acessories on them, including oversized mufflers.

I was about to ask him to test his new helmet, like a quick job at possibly throwing it if it should survive the impact.

When he took it from the handlebars, it slipped and fell. And it did. It cracked right there and then.

He tapes it with the two-inch masking tape right under where it could not be seen. He also wound a black electrical tape around the headgirth and he still escaped the flag down yesterday.

That for him is ingenuity. Perhaps for the enforcers, it is safety.

For me, that's a-one stupidity.

And you could not get caught in the highway if it is that stupidity in your brain yould wish to collect after you be brushed dry on the pavement if you meet Mr. Accident.

I feel looy when Isee bata's iding on motor's with out helmets and riding 3 up to 6 at a time.

The dad is just racing along instead of taking it easy. This would no be passable in my country because we care about people too much.

If any of you have relatives living here plse warn them of the dangers of traveling in that kind of style.

There's nothing wrong with getting flagged down because you do not wear a helmet, after all, it is a national law you are viiolating.

What is wrong is that you have bought a thousand peso helmet because you could save a lot from hospitalization bills, funeral bills, and then you realize you could not find those deputized agents you wished should sustain the drive to raise the bar of road safety here.

I mean, two days they are on the streets and then they disappear only to pop up, (like nasty ads on your page) exactly two days or a day before the 15th or 30th paydays.

Isnt this a fantastic coincidence? What kind of protection are we talking about here?

it's just a protection for yourself, that you don't have to bribe the crooks when they flag you down.
