Do you think this is very much necessary to be made compulsory ?

    I wholeheartedly support the move! It has saved my life (and my sisters’ too!) atleast once till now..

    We’ve got the safest roads on the planet, why make this compulsory? This is atrocious!!

    We can be worried about losing hair, the sweat, discomfort but its certainly no big deal than losing our head!! Personally I have know quite a number of cases who escaped with minor injuries only because of helmet. So its definitely a welcome decision.

    This is a welcome move by the government.. especially given the road conditions and our super skilled drivers. Wearing a helmet is definitely not a discomfort in any way, I have been using a helmet for the past 6 years and absolutely no issues.

    Its all in how we take it, more than enforcing.. its the awareness that is required.

    A person citing various reasons to not wear a seat belt while driving a car here in India promptly adheres to rules and wears the seat belt in other countries. So it is definitely not a matter of discomfort.

    I wholeheartedly oppose this move. I am a very strict helmet-wearer (I used to wear helmets even back in the days when I was riding TVS mopeds). My helmets have between them saved my life twice, and saved me from injury a further three times (including one when a truck in front of me kicked up a pebble from its rear tire onto my visor).

    But I strongly oppose making it compulsory by law. I believe that people who refuse to protect their heads because of some mayir vishayam are incorrigible morons. They should be strongly encouraged to kill themselves by riding recklessly without a helmet. That way, the ones who survive will be the ones who were more safety-conscious, causing the population as a whole to become more cautious drivers due to evolution.

    I strongly oppose legislation that aims to protect a skull surrounding a brain so completely retarded that it does not even want to protect itself.

    We have enough morons in society. If someone is terminally stupid enough to endanger their lives everyday, they should be encouraged to kill themselves as quickly as possible. It’s much better to allow them to remove themselves through their dumb actions than to try to make them wiser It’s much better to improve society by eliminating the terminally stupid rather than educating them. They might even win themselves a Darwin Award and provide the rest of us with some hilarity.

    Tee Hee :)

    But then let it be compulsory for the sake of other people that moronic drivers may involve in their accidents.

    And for the sake of the people whose job it might be to scrape bodies off roads…

    And while we’re at it….

    Let it be compulsory for passengers too, let there be a limit of two persons on a bike, and a minimum age that prevents babes and children being carried.

    I completely agree with your point, Helmet wearing is safety and precaution. But I would like to shoot out a question here, Suppose If I saw my Father walking on the road when I was driving my bike do you want me to allow him to walk. Even the bike which I am driving was bought by him for me. Let us think practically nobody cannot keep a spare in bike for their relatives. My suggestion is we can using helmets for the pillion riders.

    Yes, of course you let him walk.

    Is it not possible to out safety before convenience?
