Safety first?

So guess what people, the haze is back. It had cleared yesterday after the heavy rains over the weekend and it was absolute pleasure driving to work under clear blue skies. Sadly, today the world is grey and smells of smoke.

Anyway, as I was driving on the highway today, I passed a family on a motorcycle. Dad in front, mum at the back and child in the middle. The child, probably around 5 or 6 years old was eating something and his mum was wiping crumbs from his chin. How loving and and motherly right? I thought so too. Except that there's something wrong with this happy family scene. The dad and mum were wearing helmets but the child sandwiched in between them, was not wearing any protection at all.

Ironic huh? That the mum thought to feed her child and wipe off the crumbs but overlooked a life-saving detail called the helmet.
