Road Safety
Commutation is an essential part of the urban lifestyle. It’s by no means risky, but carelessness while driving on the road can prove fatal. To minimize the chance of road accidents, we need to follow basic road safety guidelines, such as: wearing a seat belt / helmet, respecting the lane and speed limits, etc. Always remember that someone is waiting for you and your presence is very important to them.
The driver is safer when the roads are dry; the roads are safer when the driver is dry. If you are the one behind the wheel, you are responsible for the lives of everyone in that vehicle. We urge you to not drink and drive. Call a ride share service, call a friend or family member, get a hotel room, or designate a sober driver.
The best place to be during a crash is in your car. If you’re thrown out of the car, you’re 25 times more likely to die. If a crash occurs, they’ll lock you up and prevent you from being thrown out of the vehicle and against parts in your vehicle. If you think you don’t need a seat belt because you have airbags, you are wrong. An airbag increases the effectiveness, but is not intended to replace it. Before you set off, always buckle up and make sure that all passengers are wearing seat belts.
Cell phone use while driving has become a leading cause of vehicle accidents over the past two decades. It is one of the most common preventable causes of death and injury on the highway, especially among teenagers and young adults who already have significantly higher accident rates. Please stay safe and keep your phone where it belongs while driving – out of sight and from your mind.
Motorcyclists and cyclists are exposed to an increased risk of accidents. Their lack of physical protection makes them particularly vulnerable to injury. When a motorcycle or bicycle is involved in a collision, the rider is often thrown off. Please wear a helmet as this prevents direct contact between the skull and the impacting object, as it acts as a mechanical barrier between the head and the object and saves lives.
Over-speeding can deter you from loved ones. Don’t over-speed because someone is waiting for you. It is a very bad habit that most of us have become guilty of at some point. Let’s promise to change. In a high-speed accident, a passenger car cannot cope with the force of the accident. In extreme cases, airbags and seat belts often do not work. We urge you to drive slowly and to protect yourself and others.
Lane discipline must be observed to ensure fewer accidents and breakdowns occur. Stick to the lane reserved for your intended direction. Don’t change lanes to stay one step ahead of the traffic. There is always a person who does not follow these rules and makes everyone suffer. When lane discipline is respected, people can get to their respective destinations on time and keep drivers cool on the road.
