Road accidents are a reason for the deaths of a number of people in India. Despite the road safety campaigns across the country, some people take their personal safety very lightly and do not use helmets, seat belts etc. while driving.

Mainly, the youngsters have become more careless these days and they love rash driving. Secondly, many don’t understand the importance of the helmet, which further contributes to increasing road accidents.

Taking an initiative on this, Sachin Tendulkar is doing his bit to change that and is trying his best to make people understand the importance of helmets.

Proving yet again that he is an ideal role model for the youth of this country, the Master-Blaster has shared a video on Twitter, in which he asks the riders of 2-wheelers to promise him that they will use a helmet henceforth.

Well, those 2 boys tried to take a selfie with Sachin, on which, he advised them to use a helmet. He literally asked them to “Promise” him.

Watch the video here:

Be it on a cricket pitch or on roads, a helmet is indeed important. Hence, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has asked everyone: “Helmet Dalo”.

The Master Blaster explained to them that their life is precious and they shouldn’t risk it in any way; the guys promised him that from next time, they will surely use a helmet while riding a 2-wheeler.

Here’s how his fans reacted:

We will follow it from today!

Sir from today we will follow it

It’s good that Sachin Tendulkar stopped his car in the middle of the road and made them aware about safety. We hope people take his advice seriously and start using helmets. Since he’s a popular figure, people will surely follow his words.

Hope Tendulkar’s message creates more seriousness and awareness on road safety. What’s your take on this video? Share with us in our comments section below.
