An Essential Traffic Rule-Book for Two-Wheeler

There is something special about bikes? The thrill that you get while riding a two wheeler is something that is unmatched, isn’t it? I am sure all bikers would agree to this. For all you riders, following these simple rules is the easiest path to safe riding:
- Wear Helmets at all Time:Irrespective of where you are riding: whether it is on a highway, city, or an inroad near where you live, always make sure to wear a helmet. This doesn’t just save you from getting a fine but will also save your head from sustaining any major injuries. If you are riding with a pillion, make sure they wear their helmet too.
- Use Your Indicators:Indicators of late have become more of a novelty piece on vehicles as people refuse to use them when taking any turns. To be on the safer side, always use the indicators and make sure to move into the lane towards where your turn is.
- Do not Take more than a Pillion:People taking more than one pillion on their two-wheeler is a common sight in most Indian cities and towns. What the riders don’t realize is, by doing so they are risking their and their pillions’ life. This is why you should always stick to riding with just one pillion.
- Keep your Eyes on the Road:Other vehicles on the road usually use signals to indicate that they are taking a turn. So, keep your eyes on the and read the signals right so as to avoid accidents.
- Pullover carefully:In case you want to pullover mid-ride to tend to a phone call or any other matter, always use indicators to move over to the extreme left lane while stopping.
- Use your Rear view Mirrors:It is a rather common sight to see most people switch between lanes rather brashly. Never do that. Instead, use your rear view mirrors and your indicators if you absolutely need to switch lanes.India is a developing country which is growing on multiple fronts. As responsible citizens, we should also contribute to that image and work towards carrying out our duties by following the basic rules laid out for us.
