Perhaps it's not that obvious to some, when having to create a rhetorical thread.

Nothing is obvious to you Jeff, you're a clueless c u n t.

The findings show that, since 2009, the number of people wearing crash helmets vary little from year to year.
• 52% of motorcyclists and 22% of pillion riders wear crash helmets, or an average of 45% of all bike riders
• In the past three years Chiang Mai has the highest rate of crash helmet users in the northern region, at 53%, 59% in Nonthaburi for the central and eastern regions and 61% Phuket for the southern region.
• The provinces with the highest improvement are Nong Bua Lamphu in the north-east, 66%, Phrae province in the North, 69%, Rayong in central and eastern provinces at 56% and Nakhon Si Thammarat in the South, 75%.
• 48% of adult cyclists and pillion riders wear crash helmets, compared to 22% for the youth and 8% for children.
• In Bangkok 85% of motorcyclists wear helmets and the number of pillion riders wearing them jumped from 39% in 2017 to 55% in 2018.


Believe it or not - this is a massive improvement. Bangkok 85%. I worked in Bangkok mid 90's and rode a taxi motocy to and from work everyday, short trip about two clicks down the parking lot that Silom was at the time, doubt I ever exceeded 30 or 40kph too damn much traffic - motorcycle helmets were non-existent, even the plastic hat type.

Law enforcement does work.
