Now riding without helmet will be expensive, fate will change due to No Helmet, No Ride rule

No Helmet No Insurance: Our attitude towards helmets in India has always been a bit strange. We don’t ignore it completely, but we don’t take it seriously either. Sometimes he wears half of it, sometimes hangs it in his hand, and sometimes he buys the cheapest helmet just to avoid challan. But this negligence is now taking a heavy toll and the figures are testifying to it.

More than 60 thousand deaths every year only because of helmets!

About 1.5 lakh people die in road accidents every year in India, of which 40-45% are two-wheeler riders. That means more than 60 thousand people lose their lives every year and a large number of these are due to head injuries. Injuries that could have been avoided by wearing a proper and fitting helmet.

The problem is not awareness, but carelessness

Today people know the benefits of helmet, yet they ignore it. The reason is the weakness of the system. Right now the rule is simple: pay a challan if you don’t wear a helmet. But with time people have learned to manage this also. If the police were visible, I wore the helmet, if not, I removed it.

No Helmet, No Insurance, now it will affect the pocket.

• A big suggestion has emerged as a solution – ‘No Helmet, No Insurance’.
• If a person meets with an accident without a helmet, especially a head injury, he will not get any insurance claim or will get less.
• Its purpose is not to punish, but to fix responsibility. Insurance is for unintentional accidents, not for deliberate risk taking.

No Helmet, No Case legal rights may also be weakened

A more stringent proposal is that if a person is injured in an accident without a helmet, the legal strength of his case may be reduced. That means “No Helmet, No Case” If you yourself have broken safety rules, your entitlement to compensation may also be limited. This step is definitely controversial, but it can change people’s behavior.

Now technology will also force that the bike will not start without a helmet.

In future, technology can become the biggest solution to this problem. Imagine that your bike does not start unless you wear the helmet properly. The sensors installed in the helmet and the system of the bike will be connected together and “No Helmet, No Ride” Will be implemented strictly.

Now there is no need for half-measures, strict decisions are needed

The truth is that we know that helmet saves lives, yet we consider it optional. Now the time has come to make helmet wearing not just a rule but a habit through fine, law and technology.
