In some other places I've been told that helmet laws (or enforcement of them) only apply to drivers. I'm not sure if that is true in Phnom Penh though.<br />2. Kids grow and would occasionally need new helmets.<br />3. Motorbike "taxis" are common in Phnom Penh. Given the amount of driving they do, they may feel more compelled to invest in (and wear) a helmet for themselves.Brian Glucrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144046195231802682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3263613130427456647.post-1600161298744415152013-03-09T08:05:51.232+08:002013-03-09T08:05:51.232+08:00I wonder what the thought process is that the driv...I wonder what the thought process is that the driver is wearing a helmet in some cases, but not the passengers--often children. So the driver is protected if there's an accident but not the children/passengers. Hmm?Rachaelbettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059698526982494579noreply@blogger.com
