No Helmet For Women
In 1999,Delhi government passed a notification and amended the law to exclude all women and Sikh men .The reason for which women have been exempted is absurd .The law should be applicable to all citizens uniformly.
Women dont wear helmets because there is no one to stop them .People dont care until they have to pay from their pocket.Dr MC Misra ,director of Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Centre ,AIIMS,is disturbed over the fatalities among women because of this questions the waiver of what's essentially a safety requirement.One in four women die during road accident due to head injuries.The victims are found of not wearing the helmets.In the past one year ,an alarming 300 plus such cases have been dealt .
Its very common to see men holding the helmets in their hands .They are quick to wear it once they spot a cop.What's the use of carrying it!!
Calling it 'ridiculous ',traffic experts say this shows complete disregard for the safety of women.
