In most of the accidents the Rider dies of a Head injury.This puts the other Motorists involved in the crash in great trouble.and most of the time the rider would have walked away if they had a lid on.
So if you cant wear a lid,you don't need to ride.Your beliefs and negligence doesn't have to put others in trouble.

We need the media to press for the following bold marked laws

Why do we need the government to push the idea of self preservation into such thick skulled heads? If someone has decided that they can make do without the helmet, why push for its use.. let them "not use" the helmet and then grow hair on heads. Yup, i mean the same ones that are soon gonna be splattered over the tarmac..

People can be very dumb... Infact as i type here, i know that my brother is riding without the helmet... Inspite of frutile attempts to drive sense in his head (including taking away the bike from him), He prefers riding (his friends bike) helmet-less. reason? Hairstyle gets spoiled, He cannot make mistakes, JO HONA HAI WOH HO KE RAHEGA

I doubt the majority of the population gives a rodents bottom to rules. They do when there is some sort of enforcement with a penalty usually a few rupees.

Awareness would be more effective.Awareness as in how it will affect them not x y or z. Might work since everyone seems to care only about their bottoms.
