Traffic rules in the country These rules have been made keeping in mind the safety of the people. If these rules are broken, a heavy fine is imposed. One of these rules is to wear a helmet. If caught driving a bike without a helmet, a fine of up to Rs 5,000 can be imposed. But there is a class in the country which has been given complete freedom from this rule. If those people pass in front of the traffic police while driving without a helmet, then the police will not stop them because the government has given them the freedom to drive even without a helmet. Know why this is so?

These people are exempted from wearing helmets

We are talking about the Sikh community. In India, people of the Sikh community are allowed to drive without a helmet. The reason for this is that people of the Sikh community definitely wear a turban on their head. A helmet does not fit on a turban tied with many layers. This is why they cannot wear a helmet. Apart from this, a rule has been made to wear a helmet while driving a two-wheeler for the safety of the people. The helmet works to protect the head from serious injuries. For the people of the Sikh community, this work is done by their turban.

At the time of an accident, the turban of the Sardar people acts as a helmet and protects their head from serious injuries. For this reason, the government has exempted the people of this community from wearing helmets. Apart from this, if a person has any medical condition due to which he cannot wear a helmet on his head, then he is also exempted from this rule. But it is necessary to show proof to get exemption.

These are the rules regarding helmets in the country

Let us tell you that according to the helmet regulation and law in India, it is mandatory for all two-wheeler drivers in the country to wear helmets. According to section 129 of this rule, if you are caught driving a bike or any other two-wheeler without wearing a helmet, you can be charged a challan of up to Rs 5000.
