I’ve seen pretty weird stuff hauled in bikes here in Saigon.  I’ve seen stacks and stacks of lunch trays being transported to offices on bikes  (hope I can catch this one on photo someday), refrigerators, sacks of rice, air conditioning units, TV, and potted trees!  But seeing babies on bikes with nothing to cushion them if they get into accidents always, always takes my breath away!

There should be a law against letting babies and kids on motorbikes!  Most kids — they don’t even wear helmets!

Have you read of Han’s Story in Asia Life’s November Issue on Road Safety?

I know accidents are things that cannot be foreseen but sometimes, I think, we really are asking for it.

Stay safe everyone!
