Chennai's roads are busy with motorcycles. But not all riders wear helmets. Why? A study looked into this. It wanted to see how much riders know about helmets. And what they think about using them.
Helmets save lives. They cut down head injuries and deaths in crashes. But many riders still don't use them. The study found out why. It looked at what riders know. And what they believe about helmets.
The study found that some riders don't know much about helmets. Others know the facts but still don't use them. Why? Maybe they think helmets are uncomfortable. Or they don't think crashes will happen to them.
But helmets are important. They protect riders in crashes. So why don't more people use them? The study shows that knowledge alone isn't enough. Beliefs and habits matter too.
What can be done? Maybe better education. Or stricter rules. Or making helmets more comfortable. Whatever it is, something needs to change. Because helmets save lives.
