Motorcyclists and their passengers in Mutoko were captured last week riding without safety helmets.
According to Statutory Instrument 129 of 2015 – Road Traffic (Construction, Equipment and Use) Regulations, it is mandatory for anyone using a motor cycle on the country’s roads to put on a safety helmet.
Research shows that wearing a helmet while riding a bike reduces the likelihood of severe brain injury should you be involved in an accident. Riding without a helmet increases the risk of death in an accident by 37%.
