Fake helmet can take your life! What is the identity of the original helmet, know

Driving a two-wheeler without a helmet in the country is as deadly as wearing a fake and low-quality helmet. According to a report from the Transport Department, 20-25 percent of road accidents are caused by drivers who wear cheap helmets. On the other hand, according to the road accident report of the police, the number of people who have been injured in the road accident or whose lives have been handed over to the roads. Most of them have been people who have either not worn helmets or have worn very poor-quality ones.

Steelbird Helmet MD Rajeev Kapoor says that fake helmets are of very poor quality in the country, they should be banned, they are just like fake medicines… people wear helmets just to avoid challan and that's why they buy a helmet for 200-300 rupees. Now such helmets can save you from challan but cannot save your life in case of an accident.

In this regard, Rajiv Kapoor says that the lighter the helmet, the stronger it will be because it will use high-quality material, like carbon fiber helmets are lightweight but equally strong, but it also needs to be noted That they should match the quality standard.

A notification passed by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) stated that all two-wheeler helmets must be Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certified. BIS stands for Bureau of Indian Standards. BIS implemented new rules related to helmets in January 2019. These regulations were designed to improve the quality of helmets. Due to this new rule, the companies making helmets have to make helmets to this standard. According to this rule, the weight of the helmet should be 1.2 kg. According to the Transport Ministry, selling helmets of non-ISI standards is an offense.

According to this rule, from June 1, 2021, all helmets should be of Indian Standard (ISI) mark. According to the new notification, two-wheeler helmets with BIS and ISI certification will be allowed to be sold in the country. The reason for this move is to eliminate the sale of low-quality two-wheeler helmets and improve their quality. However, after the release of this notification, there was a big uproar, as almost all imported full-face helmets would not be allowed to be sold in India, which did not have the ISI mark and weighed much more than the permitted limit.

In such a situation, it is important that you have the right helmet. There is always an ISI mark on the original helmet. This ISI mark means that the helmet is safe to wear. There are many brands in the market that are making genuine helmets, now if you are thinking of buying an original ISI-marked helmet, then you should buy it at least 900- 1000 will be available for Rs.
