    Very sad whether she too wore a helm?It would have saved her life.Govt,must make it optional to wear rider and pillion rider too.One should wear it not because it is rule but own safety.Rider must be made responsible when not wearing a Helm self or Pillion rider.Only can be a life saved.May her soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathies to family.

    As long as we have "It doesn't happen to me", "I don't respect safety rules", it will keep on happening with us. We can't blame the Authorities all the time.
