Have your seen any children young guy or girl (age below 15 or 18) wearing helments while travelling in a two wheeller as a pillion rider. Is it fair to overlook their safety aspects

Children should wear helmets even if they are riding a bike.....I don't care if I see other kids without helmets because I'm not their parent...I mean if their parents let them ride around and do whatever then they are overlooking their kids safty and obviously they don't care until something happens.....

My opinion is the same...It's even more dangerous to ride on the back because the person riding on the back doesn't know what's going to happen next...The person driving has more control!

Anyone on the back of a bike needs to wear a helmet, they're the most vunerable people on the road after all.

My father would NEVER allow my brother or I to ride without a helmet-if it came down to us only having one helmet between him and me or him and my brother, I'm sure he would have made us wear it. Anyway, he never took us anywear without us both wearing helmets, and he never took us on a highway that had a speed limit of over 50km/h. (Some people think my parents were a little paranoid when it came to their children, bur we're both still alive, we've never been in jail and I wasn't pregnant at 15 like most of my friends!)
