There are a lot of traffic accidents in the nation every day. We cannot control accidents. However, we can reduce the harm that accidents do, which is something that doesn't require particular attention. As far as possible, we may prevent accidents by adhering to traffic safety regulations. Additionally, we can escape with just minimal injuries even in the event of an accident. Wearing a helmet is one of the most crucial precautions.
Lives Can Be Saved
Head injuries are the primary cause of death in the majority of two-wheeler accidents. Governments and officials advise wearing high-quality helmets for this reason. Helmets with the ISI mark can save lives. This led to the decision to require helmet use. Both the rider and the pillion rider are subject to the rule. The Motor vehicles Act makes explicit reference to this rule.
High penalties
Traffic cops have the power to punish anyone found riding without a helmet. Failure to wear a helmet can result in fines for both the rider and the pillion rider. At the moment, traffic cops frequently take pictures. Riding without a helmet can result in a fine of up to ₹5000. Some people, however, are exempt from wearing helmets and are not subject to fines.
Kids under four
According to the legislation, children under the age of four are exempt from wearing helmets. Children older than four, however, are required to wear helmets. Furthermore, the indian Sikh community is free from the helmet requirement. Only turban wearers are free from this rule. However, just a few states in the nation offer this opportunity.
