‘Helmet rule needs to be imposed very strictly’

The tragic news about the death of Shalin Magia and Vageesan while driving two wheelers without wearing helmet and the comment of the police officers saying that enforcement of the rule is not possible should spell waring to other two wheeler drivers driving without wearing helmets .The Accident Victims Association had obtained orders in 1999 at Madras High Court against the state of Tamil Nadu

and DGP of the police directing all two wheelers drivers to wear helmets compulsorily while driving.Unfortunately the traffic police is not enforcing the order strictly in view of the Chief minister’s statement asking the police not to harass the offenders .Everyday we see reports of death to two-wheelers drivers flouting the helmet rule.it is so easy for the traffic police to apprehend these violators .I hope they do something about it.
