No no that's not me saying that. Some (or most? leave comments to decide) people in India think so.
Ohh, I didn't realize there was a pie chart on there! So yeah, look at it! Where do you fall?
I mean, its your f****** head! You got to realize it carries THE most important thing of your body, your BRAIN!! You got to respect that.
Yeah the pic on the right side is pretty common sight as well! Carrying it but not wearing it! WHY??! (forget the fact that this guy is also speaking on the phone!)
To buy a helmet just for saving the fine and for that investing on a helmet which costs less than the fine is foolish. One must buy a good one, because of the fact that your life is much more worth than that! Come on!
Do you buy a trouser and roam around carrying it in your hand? If answer to that is a "no", same analogy must apply while you are riding a two wheeler. Ask those who didn't and are no longer there to tell you its important to wear a helmet. Still worth to ask and not get a reply, that might change your thoughts around it.
Think about it. Think about your head (yes the thoughts are coming from that brain of yours!). And invest as much as you can in your life. You got one life, make it large (ahem no sponsors again and yeah by surviving you increase the probability to make it large)!
Happy and safe riding! Wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year 2017.
