OK I bow to your superior knowledge. BTW I *Have* seen more than three
people on one scooter, in China, I wonder what the record is?

:-)

I like the little girl with the dummy in her mouth.

Isn't it now a legal requirement for children to wear helmets in Italy?
(anecdotal and unchecked BTW!)

In Italy (only one in europe) the parliament passed a bill that bind
children under 14 to wear helmets.
it should have started from 1/1/2005, but there is still a regulation about
the standards of the helmets to be issued and so, for this season, your
children can ski wearing their favoured hat.

..
Could be, but knowing how the Italians observe the motorcycle helmet
laws you wouldn't be able to tell by ibservation.

that's true.

and you can also drink a beer while riding

Without it the driver might not hear when her mobile rings

The other Italian "rule" is only ski in good weather so that you can be
seen.

that's the reason why i ski with a purple salopette

I don't think this is a safety issue either.

Felly sgrifennodd Ace :
Oh well since you ask nicely - as far as I'm aware there are no
equipment or protective clothing requirements anywhere in Europe.

A number of sites refer to helmets being compulsory for children in
Sweden. Whether this is compulsory by law, or for the resort's ski
schools' insurance purposes, I leave to your research.

That is only in Italy.

An Italian friend of a friend married .... an American. This American
wife would do things like put out the trash bags and whatever, early
in a morning, while wearing track suit and sneakers plus no make-up,
thinking it would not matter. At first, the neighbors were too polite
to say anything, then after a week or so, they had a quiet word with
the husband.

He then took appropriate action.

never been quite clear.

Most people here are Brits like me. I have lived in Italy and will do
again soon and I don't believe the neighbours bit either.
