New Delhi. To protect the head while riding a bike, it is advised to wear a helmet. Wearing a helmet greatly reduces the chances of serious head injury during an accident. However, despite this many people do not wear helmets. Now one has to pay a challan of Rs 2,000 for driving a two-wheeler motor vehicle without wearing a helmet. At the same time, now there is a rule by which your challan can be issued even if you ride a bike wearing a helmet. Yes, this rule has been brought in for those driving recklessly wearing helmets.
Many people wear a helmet but wear it sideways, while there are many people who do not wear the helmet strap at all. The number of people wearing broken and glass-less helmets is also not less. Very strict rules have been made in the amended Motor Vehicles Act to prevent this negligence. Let us know which type of helmet may result in a fine.
Challan will be issued for this type of helmet
Helmet is very important for the safety of two-wheeler drivers. Therefore, wearing a helmet while riding a bike or scooter has been made mandatory. However, many people wear helmets only for the sake of convenience. Let us tell you that the Central Government has banned duplicate helmets without BIS and ISI marks, that is, selling and buying these helmets is a legal offense.
Even if you are wearing a branded helmet but not wearing its strap, you may be issued a challan. In such a situation, it is believed that you are not wearing the helmet properly. Apart from this, if the helmet is broken or its face glass is uprooted then also the police can issue challan. Many people ride a bike in summer with a helmet hanging over their head, even doing so can result in a fine of Rs 2,000. At the same time, very small helmets that reach up to the ears have also been banned.
What is the correct way to wear a helmet?
Keep in mind that the helmet should always be branded. Buy a helmet in which you get a guarantee or warranty. If the company is not giving you warranty on the helmet then do not buy it. While buying a helmet, also check its ISI mark. In the market you can get a branded helmet of a good company for only Rs 700.
Buy a helmet that fits your head perfectly. If the helmet is too loose then it may come off your head during an accident. While wearing a helmet, do not forget to wear its buckle strap. By applying the strap the helmet does not come off your head. If the glass of the helmet is broken or dirty, get it replaced. It turns out quite cheap. At the same time, if you are using a broken helmet then avoid doing so and always wear a good helmet.
