Helmet or Turban?

Devout Sikh by the name of Baljinder Badesha decided to wear his turban instead of approved head protection while riding his motorcycle. Badesha was handed a $110 ticket for riding without a helmet northwest of Toronto. His defense was that his religion forbids him from covering his turban and he shouldn’t be made to choose between his faith and his motorcycle. Read the verdict here.
