Driving on Wet Roads
On wet road or during light showers,
“Aquaplaning” can occur. “Aquaplaning” is
the loss of direct contact between the road
surface and the vehicle’s tyres due to a
water film forming between them. Steering
or braking the vehicle can be very difficult,
and loss of control can occur.
There is no hard and fast rule about aqua-
planing. The best advice is to slow down
when the road is wet.
Driving on Snowy Roads
While driving on snow, it is advisable to
use the snow chain on roads. Follow as-
sembly and safety instruction provided by
the snow chain manufacturers.
Night Driving
Ensure that all lights are working and •
windshield, window glasses are clean.
Drive more slowly at night than in the
•
daytime, as the visual range is re-
stricted at night. Maintain a speed such
that you can stop within illuminated
distance of headlamps.
Do not use the high beam unless in-
•
evitable. It may dazzle the driver of the
oncoming vehicle, thus causing an ac-
cident.
Use headlamp main/dip beam to alert
•
other road users on turns/ cross roads
etc.
Use side indicators for lane change or
•
turning
Driving on Gradients

When driving down a hill, ease off on the
accelerator to slow down. Do not drive in
neutral or turn the vehicle off.

heavy rain without braking, there may
be a delayed reaction from the brakes

to press the brake pedal more firmly.
Maintain a greater distance from the ve-
hicle in front
