KEEP
LEFT
on a two-way road to allow traffic from
the opposite direction to pass on your right and on a one-way
road to allow vehicles behind you to overtake from your right.
WHEN
TURNING LEFT, keep to the
left side of the road you are leaving as well as the one you
are entering. When turning right, move to the centre of the
road you are leaving and arrive near the left side of road
you are entering.
SLOW
DOWN at road junctions, intersections,
pedestrian crossings and road corners and wait until you are
sure of a clear passage ahead. if you are entering a main
road where traffic is not being regulated, give way to vehicles
passing on your right.
HAND SIGNALS are necessary
at certain times. When slowing down, extend your right arm
palm down and swing it up and down; when stopping, raise your
forearm vertically outside the vehicle; when turning right
or changing lane to the right hand side, extend your right
arm straight out, palm to the front; when turning left or
changing lane to the left hand side, extend your right arm
and rotate it in an anti-clockwise direction.
To allow the vehicle behind you to overtake, swing your right
arm backward and forward in a semi circular motion.
DIRECTION
INDICATORS Better use directions
indicstors instead of hands singlals and both in case of any
emergancy.
DO
NOT PARK at or near a road
crossing or on top of a hill or on a footpath; too near a
traffic light or pedestrian crossing; on a main road or a
road with heavy traffic; in front of or opposite another parked
vehicle to cause obstruction; on roads that have a white line;
near a bus- stop, school or hospital entrance; right next
to a traffic sign thereby blocking it for others; at the entrance
of a building; near a fire hydrant thereby blocking access
to it; where parking is specifically prohibited.
THE
REGISTRATION MARK of the
vehicle should be clear, legible and visible at all times.
Do not load the motor vehicle so as to obstruct the tail lights
or any other lights or marks required on the vehicle for its
safety.
DO
NOT DRIVE on a one way road
except in the direction permitted. Reversing into a one way
street in the wrong direction, is also prohibited.
DO
NOT CROSS THE YELLOW LINE dividing
the road even while overtaking. On roads with defined lanes
use appropriate indicator signal before changing lanes.
DO
NOT CROSS THE STOP LINE painted
on the road when you stop at a road junction or intersection
or a pedestrian crossing. In no case should your stationary
vehicle project,beyond this line.
TOWING
IS PERMITTED only for mechanically
disabled or incompletely assembled motor vehicles, registered
trailers and side cars. Vehicles other than these may be towed
for delivery to the nearest garage or petrol pump in case
of untimely breakdown.
USE
THE HORN only when essential
and do not use it in a silence zone. Do not fit loud, multi-toned
or harsh and shrill sounding horns or alarms in your vehicle.
Vehicles with altered silencers are also prohibited on the
road.
DIRECTIONS
GIVEN TO DRIVERS either through
police officers regulating traffic or through road signs or
traffic signals should be followed at all times. Violation
of these is an offense.
MAINTAIN
AN ADEQUATE DISTANCE from
the vehicle ahead of you to avoid collision if that vehicle
suddenly slows down or stops. A chart to guide you on minimum
braking time required at different speeds is given on page
33 for your information.
DO
NOT BRAKE SUDDENLY except
for safety reasons.
ON
MOUNTAINS AND STEEP ROADS the
vehicle driving uphill must be given the right of way by vehicles
coming downhill. If the road is not sufficiently wide, pull
your vehicle to a stop on the side of the road and allow the
driver going uphill to proceed first.
WHEN ROAD REPAIR WORK
is going on, slow down and drive at a speed not exceeding
twenty five kilometers per hour.
DRIVERS
OF TRACTORS AND GOODS VEHICLES are
prohibited from carrying passengers for hire or reward. In
a tractor, the driver should not carry any other person and
in a goods vehicle, he should not exceed the number of persons
permitted in the driver's cabin.
DO NOT CARRY GOODS
on a motor vehicle in a manner that may cause danger to any
person, or load it thus that the goods extend laterally beyond
the side, front or to the rear of the vehicle. Carrying of
explosives, inflammable or dangerous substances by any public
service vehicle is also prohibited.
CARRY ONLY ONE PILLION RIDER
on your two wheeler. You must carry
the rider only on the back seat. Do not allow any rider to
sit or stand in front of you (not even children). It is not
only illegal but often becomes dangerous because sudden braking
may throw out the child or person hitting the vehicle in front.
It is a violation of law to carry goods on your two wheeler
as the rider may lose balance easily leading to accidents.
DO NOT DRIVE BACKWARDS
longer than necessary, and do ensure that you do not cause
danger or inconvenience to any other person or vehicle while
doing so.
DO NOT DRIVE
on the road if you are unwell or after
taking medication that is likely to impair your driving abilities
including tonics that may have an alcohol content in them.
