Road safety is
very necessary while being on the road and must know by all because
road accidents are the leading cause of death. Everyone should learn
the road traffic and safety rules at a very early age to perform
safer behaviors in the later life. Following are the road safety
rules:
• Everyone
going on the road (especially drivers) must be to the left and let
other vehicles pass on the opposite direction to pass.
• Drivers
should be in slow speed while bending or turning on the roads.
• Take extra
precaution while going on the over-crowded roads and road junctions.
• Bikers or
people using two wheel vehicles must wear helmets of superior quality
otherwise they should never go on the road without helmet.
• Speeds of the
vehicles should be within the speed limit and slow especially in the
areas of school, hospital, colony, etc.
• Every vehicle
on the road should maintain the right distance among them to avoid
collisions and accidents.
• Everyone
using road should be well aware of the road signs and must follow
rules.
• All the road
safety rules and regulations must be in mind while traveling.
Teenagers have a
higher risk of road death and serious injury than any other
group. School based driver education has been promoted as a
strategy to reduce the number of road crashes involving teenagers.
The results of this systematic reviewshow that
driver education in schools leads to early licensing. They
provide no evidence that driver education reduces road
crash involvement, and suggest that it may lead to a modest but
potentially important increase in the proportion of teenagers
involved in traffic crashes.

No, I don’t have
any experience of an accidents made by my Friend.
Steps which can
be take to be a better and safer driver as well as help others to
become safer on the road.
RESPECT THE RIGHT
OF WAY OF EVERYONE
If you spot a
vehicle in a hurry, do not be obstinate and yield the right of way
even if you are legally right in refusing. While the other driver
might be being a bully in claiming you give way, it’s better to let
him through. Do not block the path of the vehicle by moving in front
of it or impede its passage in any way. Doing so is dangerous and
increases the risk of an accident.
DO NOT EXCEED THE
SPEED LIMIT
Driving over a
given speed limit is not only illegal, but also dangerous. Driving at
60kmph on a road where the limit is 50kmph might save you 20 minutes,
but it also increases the chances of an accident.
PAY ATTENTION TO
THE ROAD
“I never saw
him!” is the most common excuse used after an accident. But come
on, it wasn’t that the other vehicle (or person or electric pole) was
invisible.
Numerous
accidents happen because a driver does not pay attention to what is
happening on the road. Any vehicle, immaterial of its size, can be
the cause of an accident. Also remember that you cannot rely on your
fellow drivers to follow the rules and keep you safe. So stay alert
and ensure that you have plenty of room to manoeuvre your vehicle out
of a potentially dangerous situation. It would help if you don’t use
your mobile phone or listen to music on full volume.
