Most Haitian bike riders do not wear a Motorcycle Helmets

Most Haitian bike riders do not wear a Motorcycle Helmets. They are all over the place, motorcycle taxi drivers (taxi motos) in Haiti carrying 2 or 3 passengers on their backs, neither one of them have a motorcycle helmet.

Here is a message from Haiti police chief Michel-Ange Gedon to these people who either refuse or do not want to wear helmets:

Do you know how important it is to wear a helmet when when riding your motorbike or bicycle?

When you wear a helmet, you are not doing it for the police but you put it to protect yourself, your head, your brain and your face in case you fall.
