In order to ensure the safety of all road users, motorcyclists must adhere to the same road rules as other vehicles. In addition, there are some specific road safety rules that only apply to motorcyclists. Following these rules is extremely necessary and important. If a rider is found NOT following the rules, he/she will be banned from continuing the ride and from all future rides. No refund will be processed in such an event.
WEARING A HELMET
All motorcyclists and pillions are required by law to wear an ISI-marked motorcycle helmet that is securely fastened while riding. Not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle not only makes you vulnerable to a serious death-threatening injury but is an offense that can result in a fine.
