I feel it very uncomfortable in city rides....also my friend said his hair loss is due to constant use of helmet......! Why these officials are showing this stubborn..? We are responsible for our life...? What is your opinion about mandatory helmet wear....? What is your opinion about that...? Thanks....

in our state, the police will fine us if found riding without a helmet. I now use helmet regularly while on 2-wheelers not because of the fine but as accidents are increasing day by day, we must be careful on roads. helmet adds safety during riding. Accidents can occur evenif we are careful, a simple mistake from the other drivers on car or truck may kill the bike riders.

I don't wear helmet when riding my bicycle, couse I simply don't have any. I don't think it's necessary until you are going to ride on the streets (I really don't like to do this). Although I think that for bikes everyone should wear helmets. Cheers and happy myloting.

I do not have a helmet that fits, but I also do not ride a bicycle right now, I do not have one. I know they are uncomfortable, but I do not know how they would cause hair loss. Yes, you are responsible for your own life, but what about those who love you? It would also be serious, and difficult if you had an injury that made you need constant care, and the state had to help pay for it. I am not sure what your conditions are, how big your city is, or how much traffic you travel in, but usually the society makes rules that benefit all people.

Hi ajesh_pullad! Here in our country, it is the same thing and i believe that such law is also being implemented worldwide. It is for the protection of all motorbike riders that helmets should be worn at all times when riding the motorbike or 2 wheelers. I know that we are responsible for our lives but I think that I would rather loose hair than loose my life, don't you think so? Take Care and Happy Mylotting!

Hello,ajesh! Don't be childish.Helmet use,while riding a two wheeler,is mandatory in all countries.it is for our own safety we must use it.in case of an accident we may loss our hands or legs and we can manage ourselves if survived,but if head is injured we may loss life or we may go paralyzed for the whole life.the reason for hair fall from the head is not the use of helmet,itis for some other reason the hair is falling.you better consult the doctor for this problem.but you must use the helmet.thanx.

it wasn't compulsory till now...all of a sudden it came into existent...how can it possible. then police started levying penalties those who are not wearing. so many violations of traffic rules ids happening here.but they are only concentrating in this matter.

In our state helmets aren't mandatory, I think they should be. I've heard of alot of deaths that happened because the people weren't wearing helmets. But also, there are alot of people that ride Harley's and you won't hardly see any one of them wearing a helmet, its not cool I guess, and if they passed a helmet law, there would be alot of upset people.

mandatory helmet wearing is good according to me. We are responsible for our life, but external factors are not in our hands. You may be a safe rider, but what if some vehicle in front of u or behind you is fast and bumps into u even if u r going at 30 km. And if they bump into and if u fall headon imagine what would happen if u did not have a helmet. Head injuries are very complicated, injuries on other parts of the body can be tackled. Life is precious, for little inconvenience you want to risk ur life. HAir loss can be tackled with wearing a cap or a hanky inside the helmet. In a few days u will be accustomed to it. This i am saying from my personal experience Have a grt life
