The Importance of Using Helmets
One of the most important things in riding a motorcycle that is must wear Helmet is our head protector when we drive a motorcycle. Helmet is very important for riders because based on existing data indicates that 8 out of 10 motor vehicle accidents are motorcycles. That means 80 percent of accidents happen to motorcycle users. Actually there are many benefits of helmets that can be obtained by the community but most people are reluctant to wear them for reasons less important and disturbing appearance. Here are some benefits of using a helmet:
"Protect your head"
Imagine what happens to your head if you fall from a motorcycle? the head is a vital organ of man, if the head to be disturbed or problematic can be human will die. That's why driving should wear a helmet to protect the head.
"Protect the eyes"
Riding a motorcycle if without a helmet your eyes will be exposed to glare and also dust, this is very dangerous for the riders because it can cause accidents. Using a helmet can keep you away from glare and dust as well, in addition to rainy weather you also can still see the street clearly than when you are not using a helmet.

Repeated trips to ranmor drivers who do not use Helmets in driving
We look forward to road users, especially motorcyclists, to be cautious and use the lebgkap attributes on the go. We follow the rules set, hopefully safe like the words we often get at the police station "SAYANGI DIRIMU, SAYANGI KELUARGAMU"(love you,love your family). be careful on the road. Maybe we can change "SAYANGI KEPAlAMU, PAKAILAH HELM"(love your head wear a helmet).
That's how important the helmet is to us, obey the traffic rules because they are structured for our good and there is no intention to trouble us.
