Members of Singh’s Social and Motorcycle Club have long been advocating for a helmet exemption. Dr. Kanwaljit Singh, a Sikh who wears a turban and has a passion for riding bikes, believes that being exempt from helmet requirements is a matter of religious freedom. Amar Singh, president of Turbans for Australia, argues that the exemption should extend beyond just motorcyclists, as Turban-wearing Sikh workers also face challenges in this regard.
