Bikers’ Safety Takes Backseat With No Rule To Grade Helmets | The Business Standard

For most two-wheeler riders, the choice of a helmet is always dictated by its price as they use it not for safety but for avoiding ticketing against violation of traffic rules. So, they end up buying sub-standard helmets. What is more interesting – there are no local guidelines to determine a standard that helmets should have to ensure safety, allowing random sales of those with shoddy quality that exposes riders to fatal accidents. Bikers are not in the know about what types of helmets are “appropriate” for wearing. For example, Kamrul Hasan, a small businessman in the city’s Mohammadpur area, takes his son to school by his motorcycle. Both of them were found wearing substandard plastic-made helmets, putting their lives in danger. “I purchased the two because of their cheaper rates – only Tk600 each, and they look good to me. A few months ago, I bought one that cost Tk1,500, which was made of cheap material. That is why I threw that away,” Kamrul said. “No one has told me anything about which I should wear for safety. There is no instruction from the authorities either. So, I use what I find affordable to me” he added.
