One hails Madras High Court's decision for making helmets mandatory from July 1. The sale of helmets is on the rise. Though wearing helmets has been made mandatory for the rider and the pillion, we often see families - parents and kids - riding bikes without helmets. Like adults, children are equally prone to accidents. So, will manufacturers now start making smaller sized helmets for kids? The law is not clear on whether it is mandatory for children to wear helmets. The concerned authorities should kindly clarify.
