A helmet can save a two-wheeler rider’s life and is mandatory under the law, but there are way too many reckless bikers in the state, official numbers show.

As per data shared by the traffic department, Pune accounts for nearly half the violations with 7.45 cases, followed by Mumbai’s 3.9 lakh infractions and 78,346 cases in Thane between January and May.
