Wearing a helmet while riding a two-wheeler is a traffic rule that no one should wink at. Last month, a funny video suggesting the same had also taken the internet by storm. The clip showed a police officer's unique response to a man riding a bike without a helmet.
It showed the policeman confronting a man, who was apparently riding a bike without a helmet. The police officer put the helmet on the rider's head and started explaining traffic rules like he was chanting some mantras (hymns).
