Sir,
Section 129 of Motor Vehicle Act 1989 prescribes that every person driving or riding motor cycle of any class or description shall while in a public place wear protective head Helmet conforming to the standards of Bureau of Indian Standards provided that the provisions of this subject shall not apply to a person who is a Sikh, if he is while driving or riding on the motor cycle in a public wearing a turban. However, it is seen that this Act is violated by both people and the policemen.
Most of the times, it is found that people and policemen who enforces laws do not wear the helmet while driving.
This act is brazen violation of the said Act and the concerned authorities should take cognizance of it. Those found guilty should be severely punished according to law of land.
Yours etc….
