“Start following traffic rules before accident stop you.”
Traffic rules are important for road safety and reducing the risk of accidents and reducing that due to accidents.Here are some important traffic rules:1) Do not use mobile phones while driving.2) Do not drive on wrong side. The Motor Vehicle Act 2019 also includes penalties for driving on the wrong side of the road. The penalty for driving on the wrong side of the road as a two-wheeler rider is a fine of 500–1,000 rupees and/or up to three months in jail.3) Do not drive any vehicle without side mirrors and indicators.4) Do not drive on footpath.5) Always overtake from right side.6) Don’t overtake at turns.7) Do not overtake when two or more roads meet.8) If you want to overtake then blow horn twice as a signal to the driver in front of you that you intend to overtake.9) Use correct indicator to turn right or left.10) Park vehicles only in designated area and follow parking regulations.11) Do not drink and drive.12) Obey all traffic signals like stop signs by traffic police and to stop when its red traffic light.13) Maintain a safe distance between vehicles.14) Drive at a safe speed and within the speed limit.15) Ensure you have a valid driving licence for the type of vehicle you are driving.Not following the traffic rules can result in fine or imprisonment. According to Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Motor Vehicle Act, Section 281 states that driving or riding a vehicle in a rash or negligent manner on a public way is punishable with up to six months in jail or a fine. It has been observed that in India traffic rules are not obey.So, I think everyone should understand that traffic rules are for our safety and just one mistake and your family will lose you. In conclusion, “Fast and harsh drive could be your last drive.”
