Wearing a helmet is compulsory while riding a two-wheeler, and it is for our own safety. Most of the deaths in accidents that take place on Indian roads are as a result of wearing of cheap, fake and non-ISI helmets. The quality certified helmet with ISI mark is a standard quality helmet which can save our precious lives in road accidents.
In Goa, if RTO officials or Traffic Police are seen on the road, motorists coming from the opposite direction alert other two-wheeler riders of the 'dangers' ahead. The riders are quick to wear their helmets which they carry along with them.
Please wear a helmet and ride without any tension and avoid fines. Authorities on roads should fine and seize non-ISI marked helmets which are sold openly by the roadside and at many motor spare parts shops throughout Goa.
Requesting all shopkeepers to sell only ISI certified helmets. Be smart and save and protect your ownself, your loved ones are waiting at home for your safe return.
