It’s very important for the police to fine higher price for helmet less driving. Thank god this man was saved. Children are riding two wheelers more and more these days harming themselves and others on the streets.

Wearing a good quality helmet is so important. It has given this boy a second life as he would have been dead without the helmet. Follow the traffic rules and drive at a medium speed where one can be in control.
