This has been delayed until the end of 2005, as the fine had to be agreed on and the traffic police is trained on the issue. • HIB decided to put the core focus on helmet wearing for 2006. • Banners, radio spots and DJ announcements, information stands, leaflets, social marketing of helmets, 1 TV spot.

  7. Public Awareness Social marketing of helmets • 1,250 helmets imported from Thailand (3 different types, incl. 2 children helmets). • Helmets will be sold for 50 % of the price in shops. • Sold to poorer people via CBR, village information stands and other projects. Traffic Police helmets • 300 Traffic Police helmets ordered for VTE Traffic Police and National TP
