10 Tips on How to avoid accidents ?
Tips to Motor vehicles for safe driving
1. Always use Horn where necessary.
2. Do not overtake from the Left (in India).
3. Use indicators while changing lanes or leaving the road you are driving at.
4. Always be aware that you are driving. No day dreaming, or thinking about something else.
5. Keep an eye for small kids or dogs. They may run across the road when you least expect them.
6. Be alert and watch the vehicle in front of you. It may suddenly slow down or move from the lane without using indicators to avoid bad patches on roads.
7. Do not take other drivers for granted that they are experts in driving. They may be new to driving.
8. Do not overspeed. It is only road and not a runway. So do not go in full throttle as if you are about to take off. Remember, your aim is to reach safely and you are not in a motor race.
9. Do not try to overtake and zip past vehicles which are waiting. Someone may move out of the queue when you least expect.
10.Slow down if you are overtaking a stationary vehicle. Use Horn to caution pedestrians who may try to cross in front of it.
“Always follow Traffic Rules”. Remember the saying ‘Better late than never’. Wish you safe driving.

Nice tips but in Bangalore surprizingly I see everybody overtakes from LEFT. I had arguments with some cab and auto drivers but looks like its the common practice here and they want to continue it. Unless the traffic police department takes an initiative, I have strong doubt, whether this can be changed or not.
Secondly, Driving in High Beam within the city limits has become a habit of the drivers here and traffic police doesn’t take any action in that.

Pls don’t park the vehicles on the main road side. It is very pain to drive at peak hours. Use side roads ( Cross) to park the vehicles). Lucky, We have a good road. Please follow the traffic discipline to avoid Jam. Other wise traffic police take advantage to encash the situation.
