These are certain rules which i collected from http://www.uttaranchalpolice.com/traffic/traffic_rule2.htm
Keep left allowing the vehicles from the opposite direction to pass.
Give way to all traffic on your right, especially at road junctions and round abouts.
While turning left or right, give way to vehicles going straight.
While turning left, keep to the left side of the road and turn close to the left side of the road to which you enter.
Slow down at road junctions, inteRsections and pedestrian crossings. You must also slow down near school zones, temple areas etc., where a lot of pedestrians and vehicle traffic move. Signal before you make any manoeuvre indicating your intention so that the other road useRs can adjust accordingly.
Always use a helmet if you are driving a two-wheeler and always see that when you use the helmet, the strap is fixed properly.
Stick to the speed limit and remember that speed limit is related to the traffic condition.
Remember that the stopping distance of your vehicle depends on the speed at which you are driving.
If you are driving at 40 Kms. per hour, the braking distance would be 22 mts. But if you are driving at 60 Kms. per hour, the braking distance will be 42 mts.
Keep adequate distance from the vehicle ahead to avoid collision.
Yellow lines should not be crossed, even while over-taking.
At road junctions or inteRsections, do not park the vehicle beyond the stop line.
Remember that at pedestrian crossings, the pedestrian has the right of way.
At the signal, do not stop your vehicle on the Pedestrian Crossing but stop it within the stop line.
Two wheeleRs are meant only for two. Do not carry children additionally.
Do not start on the amber light. Wait for the green.
Overtake only on the right side and do not overtake on bridges, narrow roads, junctions, school zones and pedestrian crossings. Do not overtake when one vehicle is already overtaking the vehicle which you want to overtake.
Never drive in a zig-zag manner.

Good advice. However you should also consider the condition of our roads and the congestion of traffic.
ReplyDeleteWe drivers unconsiously learn the survival methods of the jungle and do not always want to obey rules.
I think we need to have a seperate subject in schools.. ROAD TRAFFIC RULES.
ReplyDeleteImplement the rules strictly is the only possible way out. Once the election scenario in India was also the same... What happened when the law was strictly implemented?
