The Nation, Published on Jan 02 , 2006
Police in Muang Khon Kaen, grappling with a wave of crash helmet thefts, will soon start loaning them to motorcyclists instead of fining people for riding without one.
A motorcyclist arrested for the first time for not wearing a helmet will be loaned one and will have to return it to the police in the next few days, said Pol Lt-Colonel Kanit Duangdee.
Anyone who had not yet been able to replace a stolen helmet and needed to ride to a different district was also welcome to borrow one from the station, he added.
He said he was close to securing sponsorship deals with private companies to supply 500 helmets."
