6 Important Traffic Rules in India You Should Know
Wear a Helmet
Helmets can significantly reduce head injuries when involved in an accident; however, many people still choose not to wear them as they feel uncomfortable or think that they do not look cool with one on.
Seat Belt
Everyone who sits inside a car must wear their seat belt whenever the vehicle is moving – no exceptions. It’s illegal for anyone (driver or passenger) to not use their seat belt while traveling along any public roads within India.
Obey Traffic Signals & Light
Stop signs indicate complete stops at intersections where other vehicles, pedestrians, and children may be crossing.
Speed Limit
The speed limit varies depending on the type and size of roads as well as prevailing weather conditions such as rain, fog, etc.
Always use your Indicator
While driving on Indian roads, drivers must turn on their indicators whenever they wish to change lanes or take a turn at an intersection.
Using Mobile Phone
The use of mobile phones (including hands-free kits) or video calling devices while driving is prohibited under Indian law – even if your phone’s mounted with dedicated holders/mounts.
