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.

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.
