SEAT BELT/HELMET…
The intention of introducing the usage of seat belts
or helmets is to ensure safety of the Car & Bike users from fatal accidents
that are very frequent in these days. In fact the people who use the vehicles
& motor bikes must be thankful for such enforcement of safety rules, as
normally everyone likes to take short cuts at any cost!. To safe guard against
such casual and careless driving/riding, we should welcome such safety gadgets.
Now the recent arguments in the state assembly reveal,
that the orders for enforcing use of safety belts is being withdrawn as the
public are against such compulsory provisions of Law..Can we introduce any rule
for that matter, with the consent of the public? No it cannot be done as
everyone does not like any restriction in their life. Will anybody obey traffic
signals when the signals are out of order or when there is no traffic police
nearby?. Unless the movements at
Junctions are restricted, there will be regular collisions and fatal accidents
every day.
In no case we can wait for the consent of the public
before introducing such safety measures. Let us be Wise in our Thoughts & Actions..
