Remember that although the wide road may seem appealing, it’s not a track. Drive cautiously, and respect speed limits.
It’s the easiest method to ensure everyone’s safety on the trip, including yourself.
Here are a few more pointers to help you control your speed:
- Use a GPS app with a speed-limit warning feature.
- Avoid getting caught up in other drivers’ competitiveness.
- Keep your eyes on the road and ignore distractions like your phone.
Instead of encouraging rash driving, let’s design our roadways for seamless flow. Arrive cheerfully and drive carefully and responsibly!
-
Use Seat Belts:
Seat belts literally become your lifeline in case of a crash. Not being strapped up can result in significant injuries from even minor crashes.
-
Avoid Drunk Driving:
Drunk driving is illegal given the fatalities it can cause. The collisions are frequently serious, resulting in several injuries and sometimes fatalities. If found driving while intoxicated, severe penalties such as large fines and license suspension are in hand.
-
Give Way to Pedestrians:
Pedestrians are those who cross the roadway on foot. On the road, they should be treated with the same respect and their safety should be kept in mind while driving.
How can we all drive in a way that is considerate of pedestrians?
When you come to a crossing, look both ahead of you and to your sides for pedestrians.
Reduce speed and stop completely. Give them the room and time they need; don’t just slow down and hope they make it. Be especially attentive while driving around residential areas, schools, and hospitals.
-
No Mobile Phones While Driving:
Texting, browsing, or even making a quick call on your phone while driving a vehicle can prove to be dangerous. Switch to “Do Not Disturb” if the need be, concentrate on your ride. Alternatively, you can let your passenger answer and send texts while you drive through traffic.
-
Respect Lane Discipline:
Implementing lane discipline is essential for efficient traffic movement. Drivers need to stay on their assigned paths, change sides with signals, and refrain from making needless lane changes.
This lowers the possibility of crashes while simultaneously improving the efficiency and organization of the traffic system.
Drivers may make driving safer, more pleasurable, and more orderly for everyone on the road by following these fundamental traffic rules.
Keep in mind that the purpose of traffic rules is to safeguard, direct, and guarantee the safety of all users of the road.
Drive carefully, abide by the law, and help to make Indian roads safer for all users.
