  1. MAKING ROADS AND HIGHWAYS SAFER How can we make roads are more safer for cummuters around the world

  2. Road safety is a matter of concern for commuters around the world. It is even more important for those who travel daily on roads to go to their workplace. Unfortunately, road accidents have become a part and parcel of travelling on highways or roads. On average, road accidents claim the lives of about 1.25 million people around the world each year. That is to say, it claims the lives of two people every minute. If that’s not all, about 50 million people suffer injuries, some of which can be severe and lead to physical and mental deformities. The loss to life aside, accidents also lead to incalculable financial losses. Thus, the only solution to road accidents is to travel safely on roads and highways. But the question is how can one make it happen every day? It is no rocket science, though. Following a few simple rules of commuting on roads can minimise or prevent the possibility of a road accident. Check out some important rules to follow.

  3. Avoid Calls & Messages While Driving An incoming call or message can land on your mobile number at any time. However, calling or texting on someone’s number while driving a vehicle is a strict no- no. Why? The answer is simple: it can divert your attention, and even a second of it can cost you dearly. What can you do in situations wherein you cannot ignore an incoming call or message? There is a simple solution to it: consider parking your vehicle at a safe place before attending a call or checking a message. You may need to hold on a moment to do it but it makes more sense as it can save you as well as others’ precious lives.

  4. Know Your Surroundings When driving a vehicle, look for motorcycles, cyclists and pedestrians. These three categories of commuters are among the most vulnerable to meet with an accident.

  5. Obey Traffic Rules For vehicle owners, obeying traffic rules is of paramount importance. If you violate any of the traffic rules, you get a ticket for it. You may even get a harsher punishment for severe traffic violations. Highway security cameras continuously track and record the offenders on highways. So, it is next to impossible that you would get away by violating any of the traffic rules. Traffic rules are for all, and it is your responsibility to obey them for your safety as well as the safety of others on the roads.

  6. Avoid Alcohol And Other Addictive Substances Whether you drink regularly or you are an occasional drinker, make sure you never drive under the influence of alcohol or any other addictive substance. Doing so will keep you alert all the time, and help you avoid accidents.

  7. Do Not Cross the Speed Limit Sometimes you may need to apply brakes all of a sudden when someone accidentally comes right before your vehicle. Keeping your vehicle within an acceptable speed limit can prevent you from landing on a legal hassle. There is a recommended speed limit for every road or a highway. It is a preferable not to overlook these speed limits.

  8. Wear a Helmet or Seat Belt Ideally, you should wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle or a scooter. Likewise, it is necessary to wear your seat belt if you are driving a four-wheeler. These measures are for your safety. Plus, it does not take much effort to do these things.

  9. As a vehicle owner, you may not want a ticket to spoil the record. Latest highway cameras from Geovision are equipped with vehicle license plate reading technology which keeps record of each vehicle on the road. Follow the aforementioned rules to keep your driving record clean and make roads and highways a safe place to travel for everyone.
