Thought I'd add my two pice bit....I'm riding along as careful and slowly as ever and before I know it I am hit by a careless,drunk?speeding lunatic and my head hits a coconut tree (not sure if many are left on the sides of the road ), I would rather my head look like a coconut with a helmet on than being broken open like one.

and by the way helmets do not only save lives they also do prevent serious head injury.

To: saligao-...@googlegroups.comd Certainly by now you should get the picture Albert. Helmets do not prevent accidents but they sure save lives when accidents do happen. I do not think we want to hear arguments about this when we all know that helmets save lives.

Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2012 13:09:21 +0000 In 1983 when Chogum road was built, i was one of the first to have met with an accident there. (a few may remember). fortunately for me i still had my helmet on and believe it or not it saved my life. My advise to all the youngsters out there - accidents don't tell and happen, or could even be the fault of someone else - but if it does, and you have your helmet on, it could save your life. Life is worth living with a lot of choices. Make one of those choices, to wear a Helmet.

From: another...@gmail.com To: saligao-net@googlegroups.com CC: suhailki...@gmail.com; tarik...@gmail.com Dear Nettekara, 2 days ago, near our Police Station, an out-of-state, rash motorcyclist crashed into a young Saligaokar riding *without a helmet*, a brand-new, Rs. 1,4 lakh, Japanese-state-of-the-art, super-fast, two wheeler. He escaped miraculously, but it took 12 stitches to close a large bit of flapping skin on his foot. Imagine if that injury was on his head! Cannot imagine? Then, please do not close this mail without visiting this educational slide show on road accidents on Indian roads: <http://www.slideshare.net/news4u/operationroad-reminder-on-accidental-deaths-preview-on-11072011> 3 more slide shows on road safety: http://www.slideshare.net/news4u http://www.slideshare.net/safeindianroads/road-accident-prevention-powerpoint-presentation-with-photos http://www.slideshare.net/safeindianroads/road-safety-suggestions-for-india We are only sharing with you our own 'homskooling' efforts with our 2 teens, who are on the verge of getting their riding/driving licences. As we have said before, such a licence is no guarantee that we are either producing safe riders/drivers in Saligao or that we have safe driving conditions on our roads. But as adults we have a responsibility to do at least this much. It will make our village a safer place to live in. Thanks to GOACAN for forcing us to look into road safety in Saligao.
