    When it comes to road safety I don't understand the following :

    1) Pillion rider does not wear helmet

    2) Auto Rickshaws do not have safety belts

    3) Only Driver has to wear safety belt

    4) Police are ok with a face shield or industrial safety helmet instead of a crash helmet.

    5) Bicycle riders do not need helmet.

    6) Traffic cop is not bothered if you as a pedestrian run across a busy traffic area. Traffic rules do not apply to pedestrians?

    7) You cannot park a car in the no parking zone but it does not matter if a cow sits there whole day long.

    8) It is perfectly ok in India to drive with a lone 2yr old toddler on the next seat who keeps fiddling with the gear leaver and distracts your concentration.

    LOL...Pseudo Safety Rules.......Naam ke wasthe in Hindi

    wat i feeel is govt shud make a rule that only ppl above 25 shud own a bike..they are atleast matured enuf to handle it..coz these youngsters somehow emotionally blackmail parents and fool them and get a bike as soon as they are 21...even parents cant deny as they love their kid.so if there will b a rule like that even parents cant get it and even kids cant help.coz these kids never learn inspite of so many incidents.if this rule will b made i think many lives will b saved.as soon as they turn 21 they as for a bike..they dont even think wat will b the condition of their closed ones if such things happen...rip bro

    RIP
    As usual here the blame goes to the parents.

    Only 1 question ' WHY PARENTS OFFER SUCH POWERFUL BIKES? .

    If bike is an necessity offer an bike which is below 100 cc.

    Think 10 times before offering them.

    Its just like nuclear weapon. It may kill self or kill others.

    Dear parents please wakeup.

    Thanks.

    Modern youth are big show offs ( Generally ). These kids spend parents hard earned money and do not know the value of it. They want to get bikes , over speeding , want to put gel on their head and don't want to spoil their hair . Now this is the reward of suffering these kids give their parents by loosing their lives . Did they think ever for the amount of struggle and efforts the parents took to grow up a child ?? Does the kids think about the parents dream of being a successful child . Now if you see the loss only the parents will know it exactly . We've seen so many youth accidents on road and most are fatalities , so atleast let us all learn from all these accidents and follow the road safety procedures and wear Helmet while driving even if we are driving after 8pm and before 8am and even if there are no cops we will still follow safety and wear Helmet while driving 2 wheelers. Let this be the last accident please ,if not it can be you next .
    Be safe Mangalore.

    May his Soul RIP. Amen!

    I grieve along with the parents of this child. They have lost their son and no condolences or comfort can soothe them.. Hope the younger generation learns a lesson from this fatal accident that roard safety rules like helmet,seat bealt and road signs are never to be ignored or else the consequences will be bad.
    Many escape accidents, some survive accidents but most are handicapped or cripped for life.
    Please my sincere advise to all- do not speed this itself can save your life to a certain extent.

    Very sad.. In fact i was in the spot when the incident too place. many things may have to be reviewed following this accident. The speed breakers in that route are totally unplanned. one cannot understand the purpose.. whether to control the speed or to cause such accidents. Neither there is a sign board present nor a reflector.. And i believe that a helmet would have saved his life for the day and speed control as well. felt pity looking in to the situation "young guy, new bike, lots of hopes, but not alive"
    RIP, Deep condolence to his family

    Its not about helmet or traffic police monitoring. It is all about one's own attitude. I am saying this because i have yet to see any sanity in the way people drive in our kudla. Iam sure the so called critic themselves may not know even basic traffic sense and rules due to which the ignorant ones unfortunately die or end up taking someone else's precious life. May Almighty rest the deceased soul in peace.

    Dear Friends,

    A young life is lost for not adhering to the traffic rules. I have seen of-lately Police are strict in implementing the Helmet Rule in and around Mangalore city. The bikers once they are out of Mangalore City, take out the helmet and keep it on the petrol Tank or wear it like a bangle in their hand. This off course make the rider to ride the bike difficult but they still do it as a style.

    Recently one of my friend met with a car accident while travelling from Bangalore to Mangalore near Kunigal. His car was toppled on the road after hitting a truck but nothing happened to the 3 passengers (himself and his elderly parents only because they all were wearing the seat belts. His mother was really lucky as in spite of sitting in a back seat, she wore a seat belt. Today they are thanking God for their second life, and know the importance of wearing a Seat Belt while in the Car!!) Incidents like these happen but if we are not paying attention to the Safety aspects, we will see many such incidents like this.

    His parents are equally responsible for his death, they shud have strictly warned him to wear a helmet while riding but now may be released their mistake while gifting a hifi bike.

    Recently my cousin forgot her helmet and then came back to pick the helmet saying the road she is about to drive is filled with traffic police, so better wear helmet. So I replied that one should wear helmet not for the sake of traffic police, but for ones own safety. Sad that one more young life is lost. I pray that God provides strength to his parents. Other young people please think of your parents, who may be 45-50 years of age now. How will they bear the loss for rest of their lives due to negligent driving. So please drive safely.

    The quality of helmets not withstand such impact. Youngsters should value their life first rather than speeding. Despite so many lives being lost , youngsters are not ready to learn any lessons. Its heartbreaking for parents when they loose their teenage children in such unwarranted manner.May his soul rest in peace.
