Helmet Rule(s).........

Helmet rules, not just on the 1st June but also the politics of the day (may be the year). The day after it was implemented the government wants to pull the plug by advising the police not to strictly enforce the law.

Why are we kidding ourselves? Why didn't the government say this a day before? The helmet manufacturers and retailers took the opportunity and earned wholesome, also some politicians. Finally the blame was put on the high court that instigated this measure.

History repeats itself once again. During the 80's and the 90's, the same thing happened. What bothers me so much is, such a life saving measure is given a rat's ass.

The dealing must have got over between the government and the manufacturers ;) Manuf. would have got good profit and govt. will be treated well by the manuf.. for making the profit by implementing the rule for a day or 2 ;)

Where does it say it is going to pull the plug. As far as I know the govt said they will be lenient for couple of weeks.

Pistu, if the law is not strictly enforced it amounts to pulling the plug.
