Starting April 1 this motorcycle users are required to use helmets berlebel SNI (Indonesian National Standard). Helmet usage rules were very closely related to SNI union of all elements. Starting from the government through the Ministry of Industry, Trade and the Police Department as well as public awareness of their own.
Traffic accident that occurred on a motorcycle can cause the rider and or passenger suffered serious injuries or even death. This is due to the lack of protection of motorcyclists. When compared with cars, motorcycles do not have a silencer instruments, safety belt (safety belt) and the air bag (air bag) in order to withstand the impact. Indeed motorcycles have the advantage of a smaller size than the car. This makes it easy for drivers speeding and moving in traffic. However, this is also the who can then make them easy to get involved in the accident and usually the motorcyclist was seriously injured.
The high number of accidents that occurred on bikers is that one in three people who suffered injuries in a motorcycle accident in the head. Further impact of the injury to the head can cause disturbances in the brain, central nervous system and spinal cord upper. Concussion is usually difficult to regenerate. Of course this can disturb the tranquility of life in question and his family.
Communities must be aware of how important helmets SNI, especially now so many outstanding helmets that are not clear quality. Rules for using the helmet to download itself contained in Law No. 22 Year 2009 regarding traffic regulations in which the offender would be fined up to USD 250 thousand. This rule is actually entered into force last year, but postponed until a year later because of lack of socialization.
I hope that this rule can be implemented and executed properly by the bikers. Because this is also very important for their safety.
