"100 percent motorcycle helmet use" campaign

When I was in Korat downtown today, among those hundreds of election signs along street, I saw some signs of the "100 percent motorcycle helmet use" campaign. As far as I know, Thailand announced 2011 as the year of campaigning for all motorcyclists to wear helmets and launched 100% helmet use campaign to ensure road safety.
