Following are some of the road safety rules in India for driving:
The no. 1 point is that the person should be a citizen of India.
First and the foremost rule of driving is the age. Any person who is 18 years and above is eligible for driving. The driving license should bear the age of the person.
Another point which has attained importance in the recent years is the prohibition of using the mobile phone while driving. This can cause serious road accidents which have proved to be fatal in many circumstances.
We often come across hoardings on the road which says don’t drink and drive. Often when we get up in the morning, the newspapers feature accidents caused due to drunken driving in the wee hours of the morning. Driving and drinking just do not gel at all and is a deadly combination.
Wearing a seat belt while driving is a must. Both the front seat people that are the driver and the person sitting next to the driver have to wear a seat belt.
Do not honk unnecessarily. Special mention in this regard is places near the hospital or school.
The speed limit has been set for the vehicles for e.g. In some areas the normal speed for cars is 60 km and for heavy vehicles like trucks or buses is 40 km. this has to be followed failing which a penalty has to be paid.
Red light jumping is an offence. The person who does this has to report in the court at a later date as the summons reaches the place of stay of the person. Sometimes, the person is caught that very moment and the license is taken by the traffic policeman. Another punishment is the payment of fine as penalty for red light jumping.
Be extra cautious while driving near a school as small kids are often found crossing the road on foot or walking in the pedestrians.
Wait at the zebra crossing when people are crossing the road.
Two wheelers should wear helmets while driving. This is for their own benefit. Even women drivers should wear the helmet while driving a two wheeler. It is an offence in many states failing which the person has to surrender the license or pay a fine.
As far as the cyclists are concerned, they should keep left on the road while riding their cycles because fast moving vehicles drive on the right side of the road as per traffic rules.
Sign boards are planted on the roads to give an idea about the nature of the road like
Sharp curve ahead
Keep left
Keep right
Men at work
School ahead
No parking
No stopping
No U turn
Traffic light ahead
These are to mention a few. These road signs are meant to warn the drivers so that they can slow their speed and be cautious while driving.
Few rules for pedestrians are mentioned below:
Pedestrians should walk on the footpath. They should not walk in the middle of the road.
Look right, then left and then again right. Cross the road if it is clear.
Walk on the left side of the road.
Cross the road at the zebra crossing.
Rules for bus commuters:
Bus commuter should board the bus at the bus stop
Bus driver also should not stop for the passenger in the middle of the road.
If the bus is full with passengers, do not hang outside the bus as it can be very dangerous. Wait or the other bus.
