Do you know that a man dies in an accident every four minutes in India? Yes, it's true. About 40% of the deaths that happen in a year are due to road accidents. It sounds frightening, right? Of course it will. So in order to raise awareness, here I am with just a few things to keep in mind before getting your vehicle on the road.

Our safety

Even though the police might warn us, we simply neglect it. But we must understand that they are doing it for our safety.

We must wear a helmet while driving a two-wheeler. Also, if we are sitting at the back of a two-wheeler, we too must wear a helmet. It protects our lives and our heads, too. If we happen to fall, the cushion inside our helmet protects our brain from damage. So don't forget to wear a helmet.

While driving a four-wheeler, the driver and a passenger must wear seatbelts. This is because even if a car compresses or hits something in a very bad manner, our lives will be saved. It protects us from inertia that could cause injury. The cushion in our car will be activated only if we wear our seat belt.

While crossing the road, we must see both sides. We must also avoid seeing mobile phones while crossing the road. Wait for the signal before going. Cross the road only at the zebra crossing. carefully on the side walks. Avoid crossing on Bend Road, as motorists may not see you coming.

One important safety rule is to avoid drinking and driving. Alcohol consumption impairs cognitive functioning and, hence, prevents a person from being fully in control of the vehicle.

Always follow the traffic light. Red for stop. Yellow to slow down. Green for go. Also, stop your vehicle before the line is marked, and don't rush before the signal turns green.

Always keep left while driving. Don't forget to show hand signals or signals in the car and press the horn if needed. Don't horn in the silent zone.

Allowed animals to cross the road. Avoid smashing them.

Check your vehicle every 6 or 12 months. Keep your vehicle in good condition, and don't forget to check your brakes before getting on the road.

Speed may thrill you, but remember, a speed drive can be a last drive.

Children should be accompanied by their parents while crossing the road. Even if it is not possible, they should be aware of basic road rules. They must listen to horns and the sounds of vehicles. Never run on the road, especially on busy ones.

And that's it for today, guys. This blog was written or typed for people's awareness and not for anything else. Please follow the rules of the road and the instructions of the police. Don't think that nothing will happen if I change more than others. If we follow the traffic rules, others may follow them, inspiring us. So don't hesitate to follow it. And please share it so that others might be aware too. And finally, thank you for reading. BYE
