Sorry, but my reference here is to how Britney drove around with her baby in her lap instead of in a safety seat.
In Taiwan, as Michael Turton illustrates (literally), we have thousands--possibly millions?--of parents who neglect their children's safety by carrying them "unhelmeted" around town on motorcycles or scooters. Michael's next project should be to photograph parents who don't put their kids in child safety seats. I don't know how many kids I've seen bouncing around in the front seats of cars or sticking their heads out of the sun roofs of Benzes...
Update: Taiwanonymous, coincidentally, also blogs about traffic problems in Taiwan: "Road Rage Scooter Style".

Okay, it's bad enough if the parents don't set a good example by *wearing* helmets...but what does it say when the parent has one on but doesn't bother to give the kid one? Like, your head is so much more important than your kid's? Weirdness!
Maybe they figure their kids can be replaced...?
Dude, can't find your email anywhere here. Can you drop me a line?
Michael
