Helmets will become compulsory soon even for pillion riders


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Oct 30: Pillion riders in the state will soon be required to protect their heads with helmets. The state government is likely to come out with an order in this connection soon, may be in a week or so.

The government had issued draft notification about implementing the rule making it mandatory for both two-wheeler riders and pillion riders to wear helmets, on September 18 this year. Now it is preparing to issue notification, after verifying objections received to the draft notification. Once the new rule comes into force, everyone travelling by a two-wheeler will be required to wear helmet. No exceptions are allowed from this condition.

Helmets will be required to be worn even by school-going children travelling in two-wheelers with parents. Failure to adhere to this rule will attract penalty. The two-wheeler riders willing to give a free ride to people in need, will be able to help only if they or the other person have a spare helmet.

    it looks like installment news. keeps coming once a while... one fine day we see this news and there will be a silence.. after few months again there will be same news in heading. Couple of months we heard it was made mandatory and now again the same heading. does that mean it was not applied then when it got d last time... any ways... govt is happy brining all strict rules to the common man. but no rules and law for these politicians and VIPs so called. A day should come when a common man should be given power to write rules for the leasers, politicians or VIPs... then they will realize...
