We love the joy of riding. It can be on any vehicle , the breeze we get on different types of roads, music which we always used to skip is playing , sometime alone and sometime with special company. But in today's scenerio when many people can afford vehicles, they are lacking the road manners, making the road accident prone and dangerous for other happy souls. Many people gets worried just by the thought of hitting roads. The quality of roads also plays an important factor here, the slippery cemented roads, tons of potholes, water logging during rains , cause vehicle damage and can also result in an accident. But what can we do on our end. How can we avoid accidents by ourselves? , What does it take for a human to realise the importance of lives and become responsible on roads? Can we avoid accidents by opting certain precautions while driving ? Let us see.
1. Taking care of your vehicle
Researches have shown that the major cause of accidents have been the improper handling and lack of mantainance of a vehicle. Resulting in mechanical and electrical failures on raods. Servicing your vehicle properly and mantaining the tyre pressure are the key elementsto look after before hitting the roads.
2. Tailgating
There are situations when you wants to overtake the vehicle in front of you but due to some factors when overtaking does not happen , you end up tailgating the vehicle you were wishing to overtake. Tailgating can also happen due to other reasons like improper braking, high speed maneuvering. We should always mantain a certain distance from the vehicle in front in order to tackle down the chances of hitting the vehicle in front in case of sudden braking scenerio.
3. Use of Indicators
There are people who use hazard indicators in case of rain or even while going straight on the roundabout making other people on road left confused. Hazard lamps are only use in case of standstill showing the emergency situation like vehicle breakdown. Giving indicators while changing lanes can also do wonders as it will alert the person riding behing to slow down or give space . Many car companies give lane change indicator option as standard , pulling the indicator lever once and not letting it hold the position will turn the lane change indicator option on which means indicator of the respected side will blink for only three times and then they will stop
