As a "green" I think this is a great idea.

In the context of the road situation in India I think it will certainly make things safer there. And probably less polluting, too.

Safer anyhow!


Exactly! I bet George Monocrop or whatever his name is is against these... Git that he is! :roll:

I have to say (and I don't much like saying it!) that I feel it WILL be bad for the environment. If lots of people have access to an affordable car, they will buy them and use them. It happened here, and it will, I feel, happen there. Once they are used to them, they will start to take jobs further afield and services will start to move towards becoming larger and further apart (like supermarkets here instead of smaller shops all over the place). Then they will become dependent on them.

Unlike many greens, however, I do NOT feel they should be denied access to what we take for granted. In my view, the more vehicles we have globally, causing a problem, the more the stimulus will be (globally) to come up with a solution.

I like the way the person who needs the helmet least is wearing one while the rest of his family are left to catch flies in their teeth :hehe:
