Helmet Rule for Two Wheelers in Bangalore.

Finally, after two years of stuggle by the government of karnataka they implemented the compulsory helmet rule for the two wheelers espescially in bangalore from November 1 2006. But the rule starts effectively from 6th onwards as the police give time for the commuters to buy their own helmets if they dont have. Yesterday that means Nov 7th in the bangalore alone some around 3,400 people are charged for not wearing the helmets each are fined 100 rs each. So yesterday alone by the helmet penalty government earned Rs. 3 ,40,000/- One among the person who was charged for not wearing the helmet was a Police Sub inspector.

Is helmet really helpful for the people?

Yes, i saves the life when the two wheeler person met with an accident and avoids head injury which is the most common among the road accidents.

But in hyderabad college going girls have different argument.

For them it spoils the hair looks. As they are spending large amount of money to take care of their hairs. So they are not even bothered about the helmet rule. Simple they pay the fine and escapes. I saw that in NDTV news channel some time ago. So everyday if they 100rs. think about monthly and annually. Oops thats quite a lot of money.

What you people of thinking about wearing helmet while riding a two wheeler???
