Sharing the Road Safely
Indian roads carry many two-wheelers, pedestrians, and cyclists who are highly exposed and need extra care.
Helmets and seat belts
Two-wheeler riders and pillion riders should wear protective helmets, and car drivers and front-seat passengers should wear seat belts where fitted. These habits sharply reduce injury in a crash.
Pedestrians and vulnerable users
Give way to pedestrians at marked crossings and never overtake a vehicle stopped for a crossing. Give two-wheelers, cyclists, and animals on the road plenty of space.
Keeping a safe gap
Leave a following distance that lets you stop safely, and increase it in rain, at higher speed, or when visibility is poor, because stopping distances grow.
