Importance Of Wearing a Helmet While Riding Motorcycle
Wearing a helmet while riding a two-wheeler has several benefits that can help riders be safe in the event of an accident. Here are some of the advantages of wearing a helmet.
Protection to the head and brain: The primary function of a helmet is to protect the rider's head and brain from injury in case of a mishap. It absorbs the impact of a collision and reduces the risk of adverse injuries.
Protection to the face and neck: Helmets can also protect the rider’s face and neck to a large extent, decreasing the risk of serious injuries.
Improves visibility: Full-face helmets and most half-face helmets are equipped with a visor that can help the rider’s visibility by reducing the glare and protecting the rider from dust, wind and other debris.
Improves ventilation: Most helmets are manufactured with a ventilation system, enabling the rider to breathe comfortably and keep cool, even in hot weather conditions.
Legal requirement: According to The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, it is mandatory for all two-wheeler riders to wear a helmet. Failure to comply with the law will result in traffic penalties of up to Rs. 1,000 and/or Driving Licence (DL) disqualification for up to 3 months.
Increased rider confidence: Wearing a helmet offers the rider a sense of confidence and security, resulting in an enjoyable ride.
