I saw a guy on a twist and go scooter yesterday wearing his helmet half pulled onto his head and angled back with the chin straps flying in the wind past his ears. Hillarious

I'm livin' the dream.
Sounds terrible. How badly injured was he?
Who the fuck cares?

I have noticed over the years that the wearing or not wearing of protective gear is a very volatile subject on KB.
Me - a all the gear rider. And I object to paying for roadrash skin grafts on some Flying-eagle T-shit wearing motorcyclists.
I too am entitled to a opinion.
I'm really happy for government to make ACC payments relative to the individual situation - crash your car not wearing a seat belt - no free fix-up, fall off your sickle without gloves, you pay to fix your hands, you get my drift.
It will never happen. The current government is too busy grooming young sex offenders to care. The previous tried privatizing ACC years back and it was shit - most claims denied.
I still find it very funny that ACC will cover me if I stand on a bee and get stung.
I took multiple hits after disturbing a wasp's nest while gardening last week. All OK by way of ACC.
This is probably a repost but the guy looked (a bit) like this. Asian, or Indian or some dark skinned race (THAT'S RACIST!) He was right out of the Internet like a Meme but not quite out of Mumbai...

Somewhere around Blenheim Rd perchance ? The "school" in the old International Harvester building looks like Mumbai in the rush hour at times.
And now we're seeing protests by the pedal pushers who want the convenience of no helmets while still getting free ACC coverage....
If they get that, I'm agitating for the old "no helmet under 50kph" rule...
I saw a good one the other week.
Guy wasn't wearing a helmet. It wouldn't have fit over his turban.
(no other safety gear, either, but, I guess, a good Darwin ad).
We get a lot of that here in the Philippines. Traffic enforcers do nothing. After all, they are wearing them. Sometimes on their elbows too. They do get ticketed for that though. In Metro Manila if they or their passengers are not wearing helmets they get fined. If they don't have an appropriate licence the bike is impounded.
