Driving is a daily necessity for many Indians, but certain habits can greatly increase your risk of accidents.
Exceeding speed limits reduces reaction time and increases crash severity. Stick to posted limits and adjust speed for conditions.
Using phones, eating, or daydreaming diverts your attention. Stay focused on the road.
Following too closely reduces your ability to react to sudden stops. Maintain a safe distance.
Frequent lane changes, cutting off others, and road rage raise accident risks. Drive calmly and courteously.
Alcohol or drugs impair driving ability. Use a designated driver or public transport if impaired.
Running red lights and stop signs can lead to serious accidents. Obey all traffic signals and signs.
