VOICED: Drivers ditch helmets on Nigeria's unruly streets

A new law in Nigeria mandates wearing helmets while riding motorbikes, but enforcement is challenging due to the hot climate and limited police resources. Many riders avoid wearing helmets unless they anticipate police checks. Non-compliance results in fines and bike confiscation until a helmet is presented. The law aims to reduce road accidents, as motorbikes are involved in a significant percentage of them. However, achieving full compliance may take time.
