This is the popular image of the youth of today on 150ccs and yamahas. Police in the other country may be polite. I don't know 'cos I haven't visited any. But I guess they are more law abiding than here. People get the police they deserve as they get the rulers. For they record I sweat a lot on head even when I am not wearing a helmet. But I wear a helmet even in extreme hot weather of chennai because I sincerely believe that it will save me for my family sake. Of course I meticulously follow the rules, and cursed for that, but still I may get into an accident because of those unruly motorists on road. By the way I always thought the fine for not wearing a helmet is Rs.100/- and my dad is not a cop:-) Hi

I'm not complaining about wearing helmet on hot humid days, tis that there are so many important things that needs to be taken care of when it comes to traffic management than taking up a trivial thing like wearing helmet. Those unruly trucks and cabbies are ready to ram you down and drive over you and in my opinion this needs to be checked in the first place. hey, is ur dad a cop? don't ever justify the attitude of the cops. I've been to many countries and I know the difference. People like you don't speak up there, but write a comment without getting the context? comment for comment sake? very funny!

Do you really believe that wearing a helmet on a hot or humid day is a choice? And are you a believer in Euthanasia also? Of course, good to see a lot of flunkies with the 'i pay tax, so cops better show gratitude' attitude. Man, grow up. Do you realise how many spoilt brats like you these cops see everyday? Oh no, the rules cannot apply to you coz your daddy or uncle can spring you out if police-uncle speaks rudely to you! Really sad, if these are the youth of tomorrow.

Secondly, there is no value for money...I can still remember people buying normal full face helmets for 1100 bucks where they were worth just Rs. 800! There was a mad rush to escape police nuisance, more than justpaying the meager 50 bucks fine :) Not sure, never heard of one such thing from the helmet shops.

Its made to keep things cool in the heat of the race. Is there a rule that you cannot wear one of those. (I know they are not cheap as the plastic and fiber glass ones) I wonder why don’t they make helmets like the one race bikers use. Its made to keep things cool in the heat of the race.

The BIG difference between Delhi and Chennai is the humidity factor. Even if tis just 36 you will sweat and get drenched... I wear glasses, and the sweat just pours over the glasses if I wear a helmet... Yeah I know, and ‘ve been to Delhi many times. The BIG difference between Delhi and Chennai is the humidity factor.
