In a recent meeting, the state government made wearing helmets within city limits voluntary. However, it would remain compulsory on national and state highways. The decision met mixed reactions from Amdavadis with some saying the helmets are life savers and it should be compulsory and others saying that safety is a personal choice and rules should not be forced upon people.
But actor
Tushar Sadhu, who has been part of
Gujarati films
like
Romeo Vs Radhika
and
Tuu Toh Gayo
, says that people should wear helmets despite what the rules are as they can be potential life savers in case of fatal accidents.
He says, "Road safety is a big concern and we should not take it lightly. Two-wheeler riders should wear helmets as a matter of safety. Even though the state government has made it voluntary, our safety is in our hands and as responsible citizens we should not take it lightly. Road accidents can be fatal, especially if there is a head injury, and in such cases, if one is wearing a
helmet
, it can make a huge difference.”
