Try losing your tailgaters by allowing them to overtake you. You will reduce a lot of risk, and your anxiety level will decrease. You and your fellow passengers in the car will feel safer during the journey. Remember, we are driving, not racing.

An experienced driver once advised that when passing a commercial vehicle, consider that the driver may be sleep-deprived or fatigued, possibly even dozing at the wheel. If they suddenly wake up, they might slam on the brakes, risking a rear-end collision. Therefore, always…
Disagreeing here! , associating a car brand's logo with crashes seems unfair. Crashes can happen to any brand, and it's more about safe driving than the logo on the car. Let's focus on promoting road safety for all drivers, regardless of the car they drive.

Someone has put on their indicator and wants to change lanes, be courteous and allow them to complete their lane change. Never take their indicator as a challenge to occupy your lane. Be polite even if the other vehicle is aggressive. Peace of mind is more important on the road.
Feeling sleepy while driving?
Avoid these ineffective solutions: coffee, loud music, or open windows.
Opt for the right solution: Find a safe spot to pull over, take a 20-minute nap, have some coffee, and then continue your journey.

As a new driver, you may find yourself getting confused, especially since you can't see your bonnet and may struggle to gauge your distance from the car in front. As a rule of thumb, ensure you can see the front car's rear tire completely; this provides better space.
Even though I had the right of way, I saw the vehicle on my left was about to merge into my lane. I slowed down slightly and let them merge, creating a smoother flow of traffic. Courteous driving is about more than just following the rules

Opening the radiator cap or checking coolant levels after your car has run for some kilometers is a big no-no! 🚫 It's crucial to wait until the engine cools down to avoid burns and potential damage. Safety first!

In road markings, a solid yellow line typically indicates a "no passing" zone. When you encounter a solid yellow line on your side of the road, it means that you are not allowed to cross over into the opposite lane to pass other vehicles. You should stay in your lane and maintain…

Chennai is home to some of the most passionate and knowledgeable cricket fans in the world, who appreciate good cricket regardless of the team playing.
I was about to overtake the vehicle ahead, but then I saw a solid white line appear. I stayed in my lane until the solid line ended and a dashed white line appeared. Then, after checking my mirrors and for oncoming traffic (MSM = Mirrors, Signals, Maneuver), I safely overtook.
I saw a bus at an intersection and stopped well ahead, giving them extra space to turn. Always provide ample room for large vehicles to maneuver, and slow down at intersections or busy areas. Be courteous and share the road!

During my recent 700 km drive, I purposefully left behind my ego. Ego is arguably the most dangerous cargo to carry on a journey. Maintaining a controlled speed, allowing room for others' mistakes, refraining from aggressive behavior, refraining from making comments about other…

The first accessory you should buy is a tire pressure gauge. Opt for a well-calibrated one. Check your tire pressure when the tire is cold. This model also includes a tire depth gauge.
Every day, I see people running red lights. What's worse is that parents , who are taking their kids to school, often jump signals and use mobile phone while driving.
Stay safe on the road! Remember, large blind spots can make smaller vehicles vanish from a truck driver's view. Drive cautiously and stay visible.

Shifting your mindset from racing to simply driving brings calm and peace on the road. Although my passengers teased me for letting many vehicles overtake, my priority was a secure and enjoyable journey. Don't let your ego come into play when someone overtakes you or is about to…
The driver appears fatigued. The impact occurred at a reduced speed, and the truck also maneuvered to minimize the severity of the crash. If you feel sleepy while driving, pull over to a safe location and rest before continuing your journey.

Why I Leave a Safe Distance Between Me and the Car Ahead
I was recently driving with a co-passenger who asked me why I left so much space between me and the car ahead. He said that bikers were using the space to go ahead. I told him that it was okay, and that we should leave…
Missed your exit? Don't panic! Slamming on the brakes or reversing creates a hazard. Stay calm, continue driving and take the next exit.

! In this video, we witness a critical situation on the road. An Innova car is signaling to change lanes to the left, but the cars behind it keep overtaking from the left. This is not just dangerous; it's also inconsiderate driving.
According to research, accidents occur within a 5-kilometer radius of familiar locations because we tend to "assume" our familiarity with the road and overlook fundamental precautions. Biker should have slowed down as there is gap in median.
Accidents like this are more likely when drivers fail to check their side-view mirrors, especially on blind curves where visibility is compromised.
Establishing a routine of regularly inspecting these mirrors is vital, as it minimizes blind spots and heightens awareness of…

Thread: The Hidden Danger of Not Wearing Seat Belts in the Rear Seat
1/ We all know the importance of wearing seat belts, but there's a hidden danger when it comes to rear seat passengers not buckling up.
This happened last year. I was driving in the left lane when a car in the right lane suddenly signaled to merge into mine. I gave him space. Later, I discovered there was road work ahead. Always give space to accommodate situations like this.

Making a U-turn involves a 180-degree change in direction, often requiring a wider road space and careful observation of traffic conditions. It's crucial to ensure clear visibility and signal intentions early to execute it safely.

Why do some people driving certain cars act recklessly? It's an attitude problem. They weave between lanes, pass on the wrong side, and speed. Going over 150+ in traffic is incredibly dangerous. A small misstep can lead to disaster.

While the bus didn't use its turn signal, the position of its tires clearly indicated it was changing lanes due to a vehicle ahead in its lane. However, the car behind the bus ( should have slowed down to avoid this close call.

Feeling sleepy while driving? Safety first! Pull over for a nap, switch drivers if possible. Take regular breaks, stay hydrated, and recognize the signs of drowsiness. Your safety and the safety of others on the road are top priorities.
Two-wheelers need to understand that their good acceleration can lead them to believe they can easily squeeze into gaps. However, respect the law of blind spots on the road. Other vehicles cannot see you. See and be seen.

Whenever you give your vehicle for service, please do not plan a long drive immediately afterwards. Instead, drive it locally for at least one week. This will give you time to identify and rectify any mistakes made by the service center. If you go straight on a long drive after…

TPMS is a must-have feature for cars, providing real-time monitoring of tire air pressure and temperature. If any reading falls below a set threshold, an audible alert is triggered, potentially saving you from sudden tire pressure drops or temperature increases.
