POTD: 14 Dec 2006

Couldn't resist this one. Was on my way to lunch yesterday, and just before I pulled onto the freeway, this motorcycle, with passenger, pulled up next to me. They were also turning left onto the freeway. The driver was wearing a proper helmut, as required by law, but the passenger was wearing a hard-hat. Obviously they only had one helmut, and knowing that it is illegal to drive a motorcyle without one, they had used the next best thing. Ten points for creativity, although I would hate to see how effective the hardhat would be in protecting this persons head in the event of a fall.
