Road Manners
Every Road User Must Know

Lane Driving for Safety :

The best way to be safe on the roads :  

  • Stick to your lane
  • Wherever available, bicycle riders and pedestrians should use bicycle tracks and foot paths
  • On multi-lane road there are separate lanes for different vehicles and the drivers should stick to these lanes
  • Change your lanes only f you have to overtake some other vehicles or take right turn

While overtaking, a driver must take the following steps :  

  • Check behind  on your right and if there is no vehicle approaching you, move to the right side of your lane
  • Keep a following distance sufficient enough to permit acceleration, signal right and move ahead of the vehicle you have to overtake
  • After securing sufficient distance from the overtaken vehicle, signal left and change direction gently
  • Never overtake a vehicle from left
  • Never overtake a vehicle which is already overtaking some other vehicle
  • Follows rules 1 and 2 for right turn
