Dear shri. Ananth,

I fully agree with you. You are using scooter/bike and your views are very practical. I, being an observer, my son has a bike- bajaj pulser, I got to know the experience he recently encountered.
On a rainy day, he was driving at Pune (there, helmet using is compulsory ) He wanted to escape the overspeeding 'Tata sumo' from the opposite side. In the mean time, he applied the brake as well. It was a rainy day. The vehicle slipped and he was overthrown on the side of a foot fath. Thank god, he was saved ! Severe injuries were there, on the ankle and forehand. Because of the helmet, he was saved of his head and the face. Other wise, he would have hurt very badly ! This comment was my son's not mine !
Now,he is recovering and driving as well. He has purchased a car !
I dont know, what I am conveying is correct or not. But this was the real story ! Just think of it !!
