Helmet mania vanished
The June 1st and 2nd were hectic days. It was unbelievable that 95% of the two wheeler riders wear helmets. Most of them were full-mask helmets. Even though two-wheeler riders are required by a central law to wear helmet, it was not in force in Tamilnadu. TN government finally forced to wear helmets in 6 cities from June 1 and the rest of TN from July 1.
The Chief Minister’s tactical statement on 2nd June took the sting off the order without actually scraping it. And it’s back to square one. On 4th June, less than 3 percent riders wear helmets.
It’s amazing how many will comply if forced by Government.
