         ADVICE TO TWO-WHEELERS - 

Take care you are the most vulnerable on the road. 

Two wheelers occupy less road space, consume less fuel and hardly damage roads. All plus points. But, unfortunately, there are many irresponsible two wheeler riders. For you and for other road users, driving can be pleasant if the following rules observed.

    • Stick to the left lane and leave the right lane to faster traffic.
    • Don't view through traffic stick to your lane.
    • Never over take on the left.
    • Wear a helmet for your safety
    • Don't push your way forward through any opening in the traffic at traffic signals.
    • 2 stroke engines are big polluters because of carbon monoxide emission. Keep your engine tuned.
    • Do not over speed. The time you gain is negligible.
    • Do not use horn unnecessarily.
    • Remember you are vulnerable: in any collision you are in more danger than car or bus.

    ADVICE TO CAR DRIVERS - 

Think of pedestrians and cyclists, particularly in bad weather. 

You are one of the privileged few who own cars in our country. It is a great convenience. You can make driving a joy by observing a few simple rules when you are behind the wheel.

    • Give way to traffic on your right at junctions. If every one is jostling for advantage, the results is a traffic mess out of which no one can get out
    • Do not use horns unnecessarily; use it only to avert danger. Noise level goes up, driving becomes tiresome with hardly any difference to your progress
    • Do not over speed or jump traffic lights. The time that you gain is not worth the risk to life and limb
    • Keep your vehicle in good condition. Exhaust fumes cause air pollution and endanger health
    • Show courtesy and consideration to the less fortunate - the pedestrians, the cyclists and two wheelers
 

A GOOD DRIVER IS ALWAYS

CONSIDERATE -
towards pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers. Tries not to frighten them by approaching at a threatening speed. Does not blow horn and add to the high level of noise in the city. Does not use headlights at full beam and blind the on-coming drivers.

COURTEOUS -
by giving way to the traffic on the right; by slowing down to allow pedestrians to cross the road; does not show impatience by repeatedly blowing horn or threatening gestures; by helping another driver in distress.

SAFE -
doesn't overspeed; doesn't overtake recklessly; keeps his vehicle in good condition; follows lane discipline; observes traffic signals and parking restrictions.


Tips on Good Driving - Traffic Do's & Don'ts


Do's & Don'ts
DosDon'ts
• Do dip your headlights while behind another vehicle or approaching it
• Do drive slowly in rain fog
• Do give way to traffic on your right
• Do get the emission TEST done periodically
• Do maintain your vehicle in good condition
• Do allow space for vehicles for free left turn - do not block the left lane at junctions where free left is permitted
• Do slow down when taking a curve
• Do not decorate your vehicle with garlands and buntings - they restrict your vision and divert attention of other drivers
• Do carry copies of your driving license and registration certificate at all times		• Do not use horn except to avert danger
• Do not use headlights on well-lit roads
• Do not use headlights on full beam on city roads
• Do not weave between traffic lanes
• Do not drive under influence of liquor
• Do not park in "no parking" areas
• Do not park more than 15 CMS from the pavement


Negotiating Turns

LEFT TURN
    • Ensure that the turning path is clear and no one is coming up behind you on your left • Give the left and signal by hand or indicator • Keep as close to the left as possible - just before during and after turn • After completing the turn, slowly and smoothly merge with the traffic
RIGHT TURN
    • Make sure that the traffic behind is at a safe distance • Give the right hand signal and gradually slow down • Leave as much room as possible for other vehicles to pass on your left, and take a position just left of the middle of the road. • As soon as you find a safe gap between you and the coming traffic make turn swiftly but safely
