Uttar Pradesh Traffic Police has laid down some traffic rules for two-wheeler drivers. Violation of these would attract a penalty.“Every time you go out for a drive, wear a helmet properly strapped below the chin because helmets are very effective in reducing the severity of head injuries in a crash,” UP police guidelines state.

According to the advisory, the helmet should have thick thermocole padding-at least 20 mm-that extends to the sides of the head. It further advises drivers and pillion riders to wear a full-face helmet for safety.
