Public Health Ministry regions across the country yesterday were declared compulsory helmet-wearing zones to promote safety and reduce fatalities caused by motorcycle accidents, said Deputy Minister Pannasiri Kullanartsiri.
The move is aimed at promoting the Decade of Action for Road Safety – from 2011 to 2020 – after reports indicated 11,000 people were killed in road accidents last year.
About 6,000 of these fatalities were motorcycle riders not wearing helmets to protect themselves from brain injuries.
