599

February 18, 2009
The helmet law, introduced in December 2007, has made a big impact on Vietnam. I wouldn’t say that is because everybody is wearing a helmet now (quite the contrary, especially in rural areas), it is when they are wearing one. Helmets have become a fashion and for Vietnamese it is quite normal to walk around while wearing one. Even in shops, shopping malls (not to mention at rock concerts!) many don’t bother to take off their helmet and feel more comfortable.
The days of the conical hats are numbered! (599?)
