Helmet on the Ground? Stop!

There’s another variant you should know, especially if you’re driving in countries like Spain. Do you see a motorcyclist who has placed his helmet on the asphalt behind his bike? That’s not carelessness—it’s another distress signal. A helmet on the ground means: “I need help.”

These are unwritten rules that can save lives. So the next time you see a yellow cloth fluttering or a helmet lying on the shoulder, don’t be a jerk. Stop for a moment to ask if everything is okay, or at the very least call 112 if the situation looks serious. You’d want someone to do the same for you if you had a flat tire in the middle of nowhere.
