As part of their unique attempt, the Bengaluru Police smartly made a reference to a character from the Game of Thrones to convey their message: ‘Always Wear a Helmet’.
This is what they shared on Twitter:
This is in reference to Oberyn Martell or Red Viper from GOT, who goes to fight with Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Cleagane. The Mountain crushes Oberyn’s head giving the latter a brutal death.
What Bengaluru Police is saying is that Martell might have lived had he wore a helmet. This in itself conveys a whole point and telling in a quirky manner that helmet can save your life from hazard.
