Who's Riding Pillion?

We have a helmet rule in Bangalore that says all two wheeler riders should wear a helmet while riding. This rule doesn't currently apply to the pillion riders though.

So who's a pillion rider? A person sitting at the back of the bike? Well, if this is the case, the person in the pictures below is clearly flouting the rule.







Captured at the busy Silkboard Junction today, you can clearly see the pillion rider wearing a helmet but not the person in the front.
