Mysuru: Intense heat with maximum temperatures has had two-wheeler riders scurrying for shade even at traffic signals. Wearing helmets have become a nightmare for them in the summer heat and realising this, the State Government has relaxed the helmet rule in six districts in North Karnataka.
Even Mysuru must be given exemption from the helmet rule, said former Mayor Sandesh Swamy. In an appeal to City Police Commissioner, Swamy has urged him to relax the helmet rule in Mysuru till the summer heat subsides. He said that intense heat prevailing in Mysuru was already inconveniencing two-wheeler riders who are forced to wear helmets. Wearing helmets can lead to suffocation and exhaustion and the Police must consider relaxing the rule as a humanitarian gesture, Sandesh Swamy stated in a press release.
Another stupid law of India!
What nonsense reason is this from Sandesh Swamy ! Wearing helmet does not lead to suffocation and exhaustion, you foolish ex-mayor. Lives are in danger even during summer and helmets protect lives. Life saved by helmet is precious to the families and friends of the rider, be it summer or winter. Perhaps Sandesh swamy – if its too hot, you and your family can stay at home instead of getting suffocated inside helmet. But don’t speak for people, you don’t represent us.
You Said it.. Helmet rule is for safety and it need to followed once implimented. Some people like to show off before the election. Why exemption from the helmet rule ,We have bought the ISI marked helments and this is absoluetly safety reason not to cover the climate condition.
