Matsaleh I think it just depends on were you buy the DOT sticker from
At least the Australia standards must be past before they can have a Department Of transport approval.
Funny how different countries have different rules. If you bring a car from the USA you must change your seat Belts because they don't have safety standards on the seat belts, just the fitment of the belts.
In Indonesia it just depends on how good you copy the sticker & you don't have to prove anything.
I don't think they are any safer then any other helmet, but if for example I would get into an accident wich would leave me handicapped, I can forget about them paying out if the insurance-company would find that I was wearing a non DOT approved helmet. "Snell" having a better certification would be ok though, still would be handicapped but would get paidOriginally Posted by matsaleh
Fred2....Sticker? it's not a sticker, unless one would take the time to sand down the helmet, put the sticker on, then clearcoat the helmet till the sticker is like suncken into the clearcoat...lotta time and money
Indonesia actually has it owns SNI mark for helmets, don't know why though...
don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
I have been off the radar for a while, just picked up the thread.
My son's school had an 11 year old driving her younger sister to school in a car bought by her parents(believe me this is true, was told to me by a teacher).
When the parents were confronted, the father said his little darling has good reflexes as she plays video games a lot...the stinger...the father is a high ranking policeman!!!!!!!!!!!
The amount of kids I see driving their motorbikes to school in the mornings @ 6.30 am is staggering.All of them are without helmets and range from@8 to 15 years old.
But why is Bali so different to other parts of Indonesian.? Especially here in Denpasar.
I am in China at the moment(watching basketball) and there is no such stupidity here.
A strong government(police ) is needed and the old chestnut SELF DISCIPLINE.
We'll I'm not surprised, it is China, I'm surprised you were even able to get onto Balipod seeing as though they block nearly every website... and Russell how are you going to go to China and watch basketball without me?
