Helmets Helmets Everywhere!

Its been about a month now since the Karnataka Government imposed the 'helmet rule' - Helmets made mandatory for two wheeler riders. A much needed rule indeed for a city with growing traffic. Traffic policemen were seen in every nook and corner for the first few days after the rule came into force. Afterall, it was a chance for them to bribe more. However, there was a positive side to it too, the public actually started responding - Am seeing helmets everywhere now!!!!!

I was so impressed by the public response to the rule that I actually started counting the people without helmets on my way to office!! Thats when I realised that Indians are Indians!! I noticed many 'cool dudes' riding bikes with(out) their helmets tucked in their hands. And they just pop it on to their heads when they are about to reach a traffic signal!!!! Ah! Brainy people. They get to disobey the rule! They get to ride bikes without wearing helmets! And they get to escape the law and the policemen!!

When are we going to change?
