Recently a law is passed by the govt to make wearing helmets compulsory for 2 wheeler drivers and pillions.
I believe this is done for the safely of people and i personally liked the law..coz there are many accidents (especially in this rainy season...yeah it is pouring cats and dogs in Pune this year)..anyways back to my topic. the rule was supposed to be implemnted by july 1. i.e. some 5 days back..though the state govt asked for more time..but the SC denied..this was firm decision.
But people are not understanding their safety measures at all. Not all are abiding the rules..instead they are protesting..there are various morchas by various groups (including people from the insurance sector...wonder if this impacts their co) at various places saying that they dont want to wear helmets reason being
1. Helmets are only necessary for roads where there is high speed say on highways and expressways (duh... you cant drive 2 wheelers on expressway)
2. Pune does not require helmet where the speed is not much(lemme qualify much...i.e. 20 km/hr) ..city (and by city they mean say Laxmi Road)
Aren't these lame excuses ...I mean...come on we drive faster than that ...its only WITHIN laxmi road that you dont go above 20....but we drive above 40km/hr on the roads leading to Laxmi Road..and there are roads other than Laxmi Road too.
I hope people understand this..wonder whatz wrong with the grey cells of ppl.
Dont' people realize that its their own life at stake.??
P.s: Off the topic...y/d Bhupati (read Handsome, dashing, charming Bhupati) won the Wimbledon again after 3 years..and the swiss guy did a hatrick...kewl game

for those against the rule, maybe their head don't deserve that much protection or not even worth it. more than the rule, if u r concerned about urs & ur dear one.. just wear it. btw, do u wear one?
:) NO I dOn't............Would i need one in the car ;)
if u drive a flimsy car ( aka santro) u better be wearing those stunt suits not helmets or drive a sturdy alto instead :)
I personally think u should wear helmets. Even though I hated it. Its important cause u may be slow but u never know how fast someone else is
They are so expensive... my god... 800 bucks, i would rather wait till someone bangs into my vehicle and break my bones and then let my insurance take care of it. Ya right! grow up people and start wearing helmets.
The previous one was ruzan. Its really ridiculous to hear people argue abt this one.
Yes I have wear a helmet.
