🚨 HELMET SAFETY FOR CHILDREN 🪖
Shillong Traffic Police (STP) continues its awareness and sensitisation efforts to promote safe travel for children on two-wheelers.
Despite these efforts, children are still being found travelling without protective helmets, putting their lives at serious risk.
Parents, guardians and riders are urged to strictly comply with Section 129 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and ensure that both rider and pillion rider, including children, wear helmets at all times.
⚠️ Violation attracts action under Section 194D, including a ₹1,000 fine and disqualification from holding a driving licence for 3 months.
No exemption or leniency will be shown where children are found travelling without helmets.
Protect our children. Make every ride a safe ride.
