For Those Taking Out Funerals For Helmets, This Guy's Life Was Saved By One
DCP Traffic of Nagpur Police IPS Officer Raj Tilak Roushan recently posted a hard-hitting video to make a point. In the video a man on a motorbike is seen driving too close to a cargo truck. He loses his balance and gets trapped between the truck and topples down. His head is seen coming under the truck but he manages to escape because of his helmet.
Police forces and the government have used various measures to compel citizens to abide by the traffic rules and warn people about the perils of not using helmets and seat belts. But, some people refuse to understand. How else would you explain a bunch of people holding a funeral for helmets?
In sharp contrast to the argument for not wearing helmets, is an incident in which a guy's life was saved only because he was wearing a helmet.

Soon, the video had made its way to the social media feeds of several people who had quite a bit to say about it:

A great life lesson for all, especially bikers who take pride in riding without helmet.

In rural and small towns nobody wears helmets, no traffic rules, rogue drivers come in all wrong directions. Rule to be followed across India strictly.

Never try to overtake in this way... with a narrow space...
The police have put in a solid effort to make people aware of the traffic rules - UP police distributed free helmets while the Bengaluru cops sought help from ¡®Yamraja¡¯ to chase down people who were not wearing helmets. But if we refuse to listen then there's not much they can do about it.
