Answer:
Given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two pupils from my school were recently involved in a serious motorcycle accident. Many students, many of whom are minors, ride two-wheelers without wearing a helmet. What can we do to urge kids to observe traffic regulations?
I firmly believe that school-age children should not be permitted to ride motorbikes or any other vehicle with an engine. To begin with, it is unlawful. A bicycle is sufficient. It is the fault of foolish and immature parents who give in to their children's requests. When I was in school, which wasn't too long ago (I graduated in 2004), there wasn't a single student who rode a two-wheeler to school. They even lacked smartphones! Not even the wealthy and fashionable! They were generally dropped off in cars by their drivers.
In Pune, it is not required to wear a helmet. For some inexplicable reason, the helmet regulation is consistently resisted when it is attempted to be implemented. I have ridden a motorcycle since I became 18 years old. I've nearly always had a helmet on. Fortunately, I was wearing a helmet when I had one really bad accident. Even though I shattered my thumb and got bruises all over, thanks to the helmet I was wearing, I didn't have any head or face injuries. However, I have since slowed down and now only go at a top speed of 60 km/h on wide roads with no traffic, or 50 km/h when riding normally.
According to an item from a few days ago in the newspaper, practically all of the people who died in two-wheeler accidents were not wearing helmets.
I believe that city traffic officers ought to become more serious and start ticketing people for driving without a licence, riding without licence plates, violating traffic signals, driving on the wrong side of the road, exceeding the posted speed limit, and other infractions.
