A polytechnic student in Kurigram has built a helmet that will prevent a motorcycle from starting unless the rider puts it on, or if the rider is inebriated. The bike will not start until the rider puts the helmet on,” Riat told the Dhaka Tribune. “A air sensor in front of the helmet will analyse the rider’s breath to prevent drunk driving. An unintended benefit of the system, he said, is that it will prevent motorcycle theft because the vehicle cannot start without the helmet. “The bike was needed for the testing of his smart bike system and make the service available as soon as possible.
