Road Safety Tips : : Random thoughts Compiled

The News papers are full of Road accident news every day. I just thought of using this day to use my Social Media Channels to circulate ROAD SAFTY TIPs. On Twitter I would be using HashTag #RoadSafetyTips

I will be dedicating THIS Day to "Road Safety Tips" ..... Please do Give it a Thought! Happy Driving 


Don't use your mobile phone whilst driving


Belt up in front as well as the back of the Car


Don't drink and drive


Observe the traffic signs on the sides of the road and follow them, like speed brake ahead, speed limit, school zone etc


Always adhere to speed limits


Take special care while driving when children, senior citizens and pedestrians are around


Pedestrians should walk cautiously when Footpaths are not clearly defined on the roads & while crossing roads


Always observe and anticipate other road users


Always wear helmets (2-wheeler)  and seat belts (Cars/LMVs)


Don't do practice driving on the highways


Check traffic in all directions before entering an intersection


Slow down when road and weather conditions are poor (like today in North India)


Look in your mirrors and shoulder check before you change lanes


Pedestrians, Do not cross from behind a bus in bus-stop oncoming vehicles may be fast for quick reaction


A yellow light means clear the intersection - DO NOT try to beat the light


Keep always left or in left-hand lane on multi-lane roads, unless you want to turn right or to overtake another vehicle


Vehicles like cycles, rickshaws, mopeds, etc, which are moving slowly should keep close to the left hand side of the road


Be alert when you see animals on the road. Slow down Their direction change cannot be predicted


Make yourself visible. At night, always turn your headlights on and make sure your tail lights are working


Pull over to talk if u are using a mobile phone. Driving isn't the time for shaving, putting on make-up or eating your lunch


Pedestrians : Use safe place to cross the road, such as, subways, footbridges, zebra and traffic light crossings


Pedestrians : See both the sides of the road i.e. left to right/right to left while crossing


Never run into the street to catch a ball or an animal or a Kite


Slogans : Alert today – Alive tomorrow


Slogans : Anyone driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac


Slogan : The best drivers are aware that they must be beware


Slogan : Night doubles traffic troubles


Roads are like Women ( Slogan) - More curves More dangerous


Pedestrians : DO NOT use mobile phones while crossing Roads


Slogan : Hug your kids at home, but belt them in the car


Slogan : Road sense is the offspring of courtesy and the parent of safety


Pedestrians : DO NOT use mobile phones while crossing Roads


POWER Check your vehicle every week ( Petrol, Oils, Water, Electric, and Rubbers)


Always use dipper at night, Using higher beam will blind the on-coming vehicle - Danger to U too


Don't make the mistake of assuming that other drivers are going to do or what you think they should do
