Safety & Driving Techniques

Though Safety on Roads is a contemporary subject of today, it is overlooked by most drivers, because of which accident mortality rates in India is on the ascending scale day in and day out, where it becomes a matter of socio-economic-crisis which demands focus on the issue with regard to social awareness first. Working almost 11 years on the book, through various related topics, the author has narrowed down to improper driving attitude on our roads as the main reason and has suggested a range of driving ethics, standards and corrective measures that would help a driver identify deficits and rectify the same. For this he has discussed numerous exemplifications from his personal life experiences and with the help of his acquired skill and knowledge on Safety Driving from abroad, he has presented this reading material which he claims to be a humble Safety Awareness Campaign, because in despair he believes that it is due to the lack of Safety Awareness among people that most drivers are unable to ‘think and drive’, instead they ‘drive and think’ and repent. The author has discussed his point of view on various other contemporary topics like poor infrastructure due to corruption, the huge demand for vehicles in Indian market and has emphasized on bringing in reforms in traffic rules and regulations enforcement agency on one hand and on the other he has accentuated on accepting Safety and Advanced Driving Techniques by inculcation and not by enforcement. In conclusion he has reinforced the necessity of receiving SADT as a religion by each driver while driving, to ensure Safety which eventually might bring down not only accidental deaths but also ‘near misses’ on Indian Roads.
