    Defensive Driving & Safety on the Road

    Driving is not a physical Act.but a MENTAL act!

    Be a Safe Road User

    How you think is how you will drive

    Defensive Driving

    What is the Guru Mantra?

    DRIVE BEARING IN MIND THE ERRORS OF OTHERS !

    Safety On The Roads

    Remember, accidents do not occur - they are caused !

    Human error is the primary causative factor

    Are you sure you will not become a part of these statistics ?

    .where does the problem lie ?


    There is lack of accountability in Govt. for road safety. Multi-lane highways are being built but will untrained drivers be able to handle these high speed corridors ? How does one cope with the diverse road user behaviour found on India's roads ? so we have to drive bearing in mind the errors of others !

    Remember the three C's
