Safety Precautions When Driving on National Highways or Highways
- Maintain speed limit. Drive the vehicle at a steady speed, look forward and be alert. Anticipate whats going to happen on the road ahead. Traffic should keep to the left, use the right lane for overtaking.
-Keep checking the road ahead, to each side and behind. Look ahead to where you will be in the next 15 to 20 seconds, have a glance at as far ahead as you can see. Vehicles will take longer to stop at higher speed so better anticipation is required.
-Stay clear of large vehicles. They block your view more than other vehicles because of their size. Keep distance from other vehicles. This will let you see clearly in every direction and will give you time and space to react.
-Do not cut off any vehicle when changing a lane or joining the highway. It is dangerous for a slower moving vehicle to cut in front of a faster moving vehicle.
-Use the right lane to overtake slower traffic. Drive in the left-hand lane leaving the other lanes clear for overtaking.
