In October last year, MoRTH had issued a draft notification proposing improvement in the safety quotient with an aim to increase the speed to not more than 40 kmph for two-wheelers with a child up to four years. The ministry has also proposed that rear-facing two-wheeler children in the age group of nine months to four years will have to wear crash helmets.
