Accident Warning: Fatalities & Death  

Motorcycle riders in Pakistan do not want to wear the full-body protective gear for riding a motorcycle as the weather is hot during the summer. For these same reasons, they will also avoid wearing a helmet. That is why the police have now started to implement a fine for riders without helmets.

Riders suffer the most in road accidents as they are completely exposed to serious injuries. A broken neck or shattered spin are common causes of death in riders leading to instant death at collision. For those who survive road accidents, they have to live with a life long disability without any health care in Pakistan.

The traffic police in Pakistan has not standardised the model or tyle of motorcycle helmets to allow riders to buy anything they can afford as long as they wear protective headgear. A 'challan' is issued for 200 PKR which is a receipt for a traffic offence by the traffic police to the rider for not wearing a safety helmet.
