Context :
72%
of bikers killed in accidents across Maharashtra were helmetless / 19
Feb 2023
My Take :
Traffic
Offences are a Lesser Priority
…………………… 14 March
2021
Gadkariji,
It
is entirely within your power to issue a notification that says :
Ø > From April 2022, all 2-wheelers shall be sold along with a helmet (
compulsory
accessory )
Ø > Both, the 2-wheeler and the helmet shall have embedded
SENSORS, which
are internet connected [ IoT ]
Ø > A 2-wheeler ( whether Electric or ICE ) will not start unless the driver is
wearing that helmet ,
enabling both the sensors to link-up / get paired /
communicate / transfer data ( to traffic police dept server ,
transmitting
Vehicle registration number and driver license number )
Ø > It will also not start if,
# Driver is drunk ( alcohol analyzing
sensor )
# Laden weight exceeds 150 Kg ( weight sensor
)
In
the age of Level 5 Autonomous Self Driving cars, implementing what I just
described, is not a Rocket Science
Nor
will its implementation push up the 2-wheeler selling price by more than Rs
1000 ( less than 1 % )
But,
my suggestion has the potential to save some 40,000 lives each year !
I urge you to use your authority for a noble /
humanitarian cause
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
