DRIVING SAFETY
Seat-Belt
Seat-belts are life saving equipment
and their use reduces the chance of
injury and severity of injury in case of
an accident. It is strongly
recommended that all the car occupants
should always wear the seat-belt, while
car is in motion.
Influence of Alcohol
Avoid driving under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Alcohol and drugs will
severely impair your control on the
vehicle and increase the risk of injury
to yourself and others.
Mobile phones
Avoid using mobile phones while driving.
This could divert your attention from
the road and result in an accident.
Fatigue 'Rest Revive Survive'
Do not attempt driving when you feel
tired or sleepy. Long distance driving
can tire you very much and fatigue can
dull your reflexes and judgment. Take
a break and get refreshed at intervals.
CAR SAFETY CHECKS
Windshield/wiper/windshield
washer
Always keep windshield glass clean to
avoid any distraction in visibility. Ensure
proper working of wipers and condition
of wiper blade. Ensure that windshield
washer reservoir is full. Do not operate
wiper alone when the windshield glass
is dry, which would damage the
windshield.
Headlights
Keep headlight lenses clean. Check
for operation of headlamp in both high/
low beam conditions. Check for correct
focusing of headlamps. Use only
recommended type of bulbs. Do not
use the high beam unless it is
inevitable. Its dazzle may glare the
driver of the oncoming car thus causing
an accident.
