It is extremely important to follow all guidelines while riding motorbikes or any other vehicle. Wearing a helmet is an absolute must. Even the smallest of mishaps can lead to major accidents, even deaths. Sometimes people of no fault become innocent victims of such incidents and end up sustaining injuries. As responsible citizens, we must follow regulations and be focused while driving.
