Can anyone provide more information on this fatality related to head injury. Was the pillion rider wearing helmet or was he required to wear a helmet per the new laws that were just enforced? I recall that Govt. made an exception (as demanded by MAG) that helmets are not required if you drive less than 40 km/hour. If the new Helmet use law exempted him, should it not MAG and/or Government be held liable for his death? This could be a good opportunity for the lawyers and family of the victim to file a lawsuit.
