Helmet is used to wear on head to ensure our safety while driving two wheeler.
I found many people using helmet for style purpose as there are many stylish helmets in the market. I think such stylish helmets will not ensure safety.
So i think everyone should use safety helmets
while driving two wheeler to ensure our safety.
Do you use helmet while driving two wheeler?

I rode a motorbike for many years.
Over here all helmets have to conform to a certain standard.
Personally I always went for shoei or arai...had a couple of agv's too.

@PBKING Ok, I'll do my best to explain.
"All helmets worn on UK roads must meet one of the following: British Standard BS 6658:1985 and carry the BSI Kitemark. UNECE Regulation 22.05. a European Economic Area member standard offering at least the same safety and protection as BS 6658:1985, and carry a mark equivalent to the BSI Kitemark."
What that means is that every helmet sold here needs to perform to a certain standard.
They do penetration tests...a helmet has to withstand some sharp object going into in with certain forces.
They do abrasion tests...if you crash and are off the bike skidding down the road the helmet must be able to withstand getting rubbed along the road to a certain degree.
Shoei and Arai are my brands of choice when it comes to helmets.
Like Shark in your pic...my nephew has a shark...I don't like them personally.
Shoei tend to be less expensive than Arai...the most I ever spent was $500+ on a limited edition Arai that matched my bikes colour

It's always better to be safe and stylish at the same time.
