Bike-scooter riders beware! Even if you wear a helmet, you will be issued a hefty challan, know this rule immediately, otherwise you will be fined thousands of rupees.

Auto News Desk – We all know that one should not ride a bike or scooter without a helmet. Here it is not about the challan but about your life. A good original helmet not only protects you from driving but also protects your head from serious injury in case of an accident. Therefore, use genuine ISI marked helmet. But in India, cheap and non-ISI marked helmets are being sold openly in every street and market, which cost Rs 200-300. People used to wear such helmets only to escape from the police. But wearing such a helmet can also result in a challan. If you wear the helmet incorrectly or do not fasten the buckle properly, you can also be fined. Let us know about this new rule…

In pursuit of cheapness, using fake and non-ISI marked helmet can result in challan. Not only this, your helmet should neither be tight nor loose, but if you fail or forget to fasten the strap after wearing the helmet, you can still be fined. So wear the helmet carefully and correctly and most importantly, do not forget to tie the strap properly after wearing the helmet. Also keep in mind that if the helmet strap is broken or does not have a lock, get it repaired immediately, otherwise you can be fined.
