Helmets

The TN government is going to enforce a rule for two-wheelers to compulsorily wear helmets from June. This is perhaps arriving late here but nevertheless they are trying to do something significant which is worth a mention. Honestly speaking i have been using helmets for the past two years and whenever i go out without a helmet i feel so vulnerable. Most of the deaths occurring to motorists during accidents is because of head injury which apparently can be avoided by wearing helmets. And one more startling change they are bringing is fixing up of digital meters in all the autos. Ah that is something which is really surprising. The government has given them a stipulated time and have warned them if they dont fix it up within that time they'll cancel the license of the autos. Now thats a boon to all those who depend on those fleecing auto drivers. So now everyone can vainly hope that they no longer cheat. Hopefully the policemen doesn't accept any bribe and punish the law-breakers(atleast those who flout the above two mentioned).

Helmet is definitely a life saver except for the fact that 9 out of 10 times your scalp will itch when you are in the middle of the road with the helmet on.

It is experiences like this which makes people hate the helmet rule.

And regarding the digital auto meter, till date I haven't had any "overcharged" experience in Bangalore.
