Almost 30% of Road Accidents deaths in India comprise of the Two Wheeler users. Though we have Driving schools every corner of the nation not one would teach you how to ride a bicycle - apart from a very few parks run by some OEMs. HE India, thus keeping by its tradition is collaborating with Vinline Engineering of Kolkata to establish India's first dedicated Two Wheeler Academy in Kolkata with a special focus on the female users. Pawan Shah, Director of Vinline very passionately mentioned, "We are determined to save precious human lives on Indian Roads. We are one of the largest distributors of Two Wheelers in Eastern part of India and as responsible business entity we want our customers to maximize their user experience, staying absolutely safe."
