- Ensure that all Helmet users are fixing the Chinstrap of Helmet.Otherwise it will not help during an accident.
 
-  Ensure that ONLY good quality Helmets are available in the market.
 
- Strict enforcement of existing traffic rules.
 
- Law should be modified such that the person who made the accident has to bear (say) 0 to 10 % of the insurance claims, depending on severity of negligence. Also the compensations should be made very huge, making accidents unaffordable so that everyone will be very vigilant.
 
- All those who do not maintain the safe distance for the speed should be punished. 
 
- Safety awareness should begin from childhood, as it is difficult to impart awareness to a grown up a human. If safety awareness is imparted at childhood, safety will be a habit.
