DRIVING TIPS
DRIVING IN FOG
Drive slow. Always drive at a speed that allows you to stop with in the distance of you visibility.
Always use dipped headlights or front fog lamps. Use your wind screen wipers & keep cleaning the wind screens and side glasses.

Never hang onto the lights of the vehicle in front; it only gives the false sense of security.
Allow more time for your journey and never be in a hurry.

Do not increase your speed to get away from a vehicle which may be closely following you behind.

DRIVING IN VERY HOT WEATHER
Inspect the tyres for overheating and tread separation every 100 Km. If a tyre is too hot to touch, stop for some time and allow it cool off

Under high temperatures, the tread may come off the retreated tyres and may cause a tyre burst.
Air pressure increases with temperature. Do not try to remove air, as the tyre pressure will be too low when the tyre cools off.

Ensure enough engine oil and water in the radiator. They help to keep the engine cool.

Watch for those road sections where tar bleeds in heat. Drive slowly in these areas, as they are very slippery.

DRIVING AT NIGHT
All lamps must be kept clean and headlamps correctly set so as to provide maximum illumination without dazzling other drivers.

Drive at controlled speed, so that you are in a position to stop well within the distance.

Give a quick flash to warn the driver while overtaking.

Once on the road, clean the windscreens and glasses as often as possible.
In rainy conditions ensure that wipers are in working conditions.

HILL DRIVING
Check brakes before commencing journey, always change to the correct gear before climbing up or coming down a section.

Never switch off engine or put the gear in neutral with a view to save fuel or cool the engine,it is very dangerous.

Always give way to a heavy/loaded vehicle and upcoming traffic.

Follow all traffic signs and use horn at all blind corners.

Never attempt to overtake near the bends or at the crest of a hill.
