Untimely death of a young person in an accident prompted me to write an article. The cause of death was serious head injury arising from not wearing helmet. The link for the article is:

Unfortunately, a doctor aged around 45 in prime of his career died in an accident at Meerut. I was at Meerut in the last two days. This man was also not wearing helmet and died after remaining in comma for a few days.
I wish to impress upon all through this post to always wear a steel helmet while driving a two wheeler and preferably also when riding in the pillion seat.

In Kerala helmet is necessary for two wheel driving.But people wear it for police men!!
Helmet is coulsory in U.P. also. But here people feel proud of breaking law even if this benefits them. Delhi is better in this respect. In Delhi, all two wheeler riders including those in back seat also wear helmets.
I think helmet should be worn while driving two wheelers to avoid any unfortunate thing to take place...And it is a fact that the person close by us are more effected when we meet with any mishaps in our day to day life. I don't know what makes us to skip it from wearing it...
Undoubtedly, most two wheeler users know tahtit is safe to drive with helmet. But wearing helmet is uncomfortable. Out of sheer lethargy and discomfort, many avoid wearing helmet.
seriously this topic need serious attention, i think most of the people were wearing helmet not for their safety but wearing them by fear of getting caught by cops. Recently i had gone through some incident's which compelled me to wear helmet not just by fear of getting caught by the cops but wear for my own safety, it's humble request for everyone to wear helmet while riding the vehicle..!!
:blink: Thats a stereotype everyone can narrate... but the big question is- do YOU yourself do that??
As is the norm with Indians, dnt expect too many honest answers. Buy nevertheless, you gotta be the change you wish to see in this world.
I do not think that anyone would give here dishonest answer. Here we discuss only common matter and not personal issues. So everyone is honest. Personally, I mentioned that helmet is uneasy to wear. Some others have also mentioned that this spoils hair style or this is against fashion statement. So, members are honest in their answers.
Undoubtedly, helmet makes you safe. But we avoid this just because of inconvenience and uneasiness. Once you begin wearing this regularly, you will be accustomed. It is experience that defence personnel always wear helmet while driving or sitting in pillion seat. This has become their habit. If the traffic police make this strict, everyone will follow. The parents and schools/ colleges have also a role to play in making helmet a habit.
One of the most obvious scooter safety tips is the importance of wearing a helmet.When purchasing your helmet, make sure that it meets the DOT standards for motorcycle helmets.If the helmet has been approved it will have a sticker from the government agency stating so.
