“The penalty for wearing a substandard or unauthorized helmet on a motorcycle is P1500.
But sometimes, just sometimes, you get a lucky break.
Before buying a motorcycle, try to factor the helmet into your budget.
A toy helmet, bicycle helmet or construction helmet just doesn’t give you the level of protection that you need.”
