The Sikh Motorcycle Club came through Kamloops last month as a part of the Gurdwara (Sikh temple) Motorcycle Ride. The two-day tour aimed, in part, to help raise awareness of the rights of Sikh motorcyclists. It was also meant to distribute information about the Sikh community and causes important to it. “This was formed in order to educate people about the religion . . . just to show people who we are, because there’s a lot of people who don’t know who Sikhs are,” Pavendeep Singh Gill said of the club.safest motorcycle half helmets It was formed in 2002 and has about 160 members — including three in Kamloops, of which Gill is one.garner motorcycle dealer The members visited both of Kamloops temples before continuing on their journey.triumph motorcycle store perth

The group made stops in Vancouver, New Westminster, Surrey, Abbotsford, Oliver, Princeton, Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon and Merritt on July 26 and 27. “It’s not like we’re preaching our religion,” Gill continued. “It’s just to show people this is who we are, this is what we believe — and we ride motorcycles.” Sikhs who wear turbans are exempt from wearing helmets while riding their bikes. The exemption is one of a number of areas in which the club tries to increase awareness in.pac man motorcycle helmet The helmet exemption came into effect in 1999, two years after one of the club’s first members, Avtar Singh Dhillon, filed a human-rights complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Commission. Dhillon’s complaint was successful and led to an amendment of Section 221 of the Motor Vehicle Act of B.C. The exemption applies to all practising Sikhs, who have unshorn hair and habitually wear a turban composed of five or more square metres of cloth.

Turbans don’t provide the same protection from injury as a helmet, but Gill said that’s only part of the issue at hand. “I shouldn’t say it scares me — it scares me to ride a motorcycle, right? Because you’re taking a risk,” Gill said when asked if he worried about injury riding without a helmet. “But I think it’s more than that. This is an issue about freedom of religion. If you’re wanting to ride a motorcycle, are you allowed to do it and still have your religious beliefs with you and practise them while you’re riding a motorcycle?” That religious freedom may come at a cost, however. The Insurance Company of British Columbia said while motorcycles make up three percent of insured vehicles, they’re involved in 11 per cent of road fatalities. On average, 1,500 people are injured in crashes involving motorcycles each year in B.C., with about 37 riders dying. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says helmet use can prevent fatal injuries 29 per cent of the time and are effective in preventing head injuries in 67 per cent of crashes.

Despite the statistics, ICBC declined to comment on the importance of helmet use. The numbers are concerning but, for some Sikh riders, taking their turban off is not an option. The Sikh Motorcycle Club’s literature describes the turban as “an essential and integral part of a Sikh’s religious belief and their way of life. It is an obligatory and inseparable part of the being of a Sikh.” British Columbia and Manitoba are the only Canadian provinces in which turbans can take the place of helmets. According to the club, the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and all South Asian countries have similar exemptions in place. Though the exception is written in law, it’s still relatively unknown. Gill said he was pulled over by police in Kamloops last year and neither the officer, nor his traffic division, was aware Sikh riders aren’t required to wear a helmet. Along with increasing awareness about a Sikh’s right to ride without a helmet, the club tries to educate its members about motorcycle safety and help injured riders.
