According to Section 129 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, every person except a Sikh wearing a turban driving or riding on a motor cycle shall, while in a public place, wear protective headgear (helmet) conforming to the standards of Bureau of Indian Standards. The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 does not exempt women pillion riders on two wheelers from wearing helmet. According to the second proviso to the said Section 129, the State Governments can frame rules to provide for such exceptions as they may think fit.
This information was given by the Minister of State of Road Transport and Highways, Dr. Tushar A. Chaudhary, in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
