Along with the riders, the pillion riders, irrespective of age, too should wear helmets. It is unfortunate that compliance to traffic safety rules is linked to enforcement on the ground by the police. With limited manpow- er, it is really impossible for the traffic officials to be present at all the place at all the time. Moreover, it should be understood that laws are made to save people from potential threat. Without a hel- met the ride may sound thrilling, but it is not safe. Riding a bike without a helmet does not just jeopardise the rider’s life, but that of the others’ as well. It is time that each one of us realise the importance of abiding by traffic rules and protect not only our lives but that of the others.
