Priorities when it comes to safety differ greatly in many parts of the world. While there’s a consensus that wearing a full set of motorcycle gear is the best way to stay safe on two wheels, there are parts of the world grappling with political and civil unrest that put rider safety in the back seat for the interest of public security.
For example, a recent turn of events in Bacolod City, a municipality in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines, has recently implemented a ban on all full-face motorcycle helmets. While absurd for someone looking at things from the outside, this drastic course of action isn’t exactly unfounded.
