Hight speed Road safety Tips

1. _Speed = 160KM per Hour_

2. _Distance covered in 1 second will be 45 metres_

3. _A small deviation of 3° degrees in the steering will makes the car deviate to 20 metres from the straight line which has a huge potential of hitting the diveder or out of the road. Hence *wheel alignment must be taken care while heading for a highway travelling*. It is very important for those high speeding vehicles_.

1. _Also *avoid drive with a single hand* when speeds are more than 120KMPH_.

2. _*Don't do multi tasking* like drinking, talking on the mobile, smoking etc while driving at high speeds_.

3. _*Don't play loud music/sounds* at high speeds which can make you deaf to the sounds and honks of other vehicles. Also loud noise makes you tired very soon_.

4. _Always *watch rear view mirror for every 5-10 secs*. Watch and check the mirrors while over taking_.

5. _While over taking the other vehicles, calculate the relative speed of the vehicle which you are over taking and accordingly you accelerate your speed to over take. In case if find other vehicle speeding /up than anticipated, *immediately you slow down* but don't rage by thats situation_.

6. _After you over take the other vehicle, immediately you give away the signal indicators in which way you are driving -left or right side of the road_.

7. _Never over take any vehicle even a motor bike in the turnings. The banking angle of the Indian highways are designed only for 60 - 80KMPH but not for high speeds. On high speeds we can not able to control the vehicle in the turnings. In case if you are driving on a single road then its even dangerous as we can't see the opposite side vehicle. *So never overtake in turnings*_.

8. _*Dont pump your brakes continously to apply sudden brakes*. Just apply hard on the brakes. In case if apply hard, tyres will skid and finally stops the vehicles. In case if you pump brakes multiple times then vehicle moves in the gap while releasing and applying brakes. So vehicle may not stop immediately. In case vehicle loses its grip on the road, get skidding on the road and any vehicle is in the same direction, then  turn the steering to safe side so that vehicle moves in that direction in case if the tyres gets grip again on the road_.

9. _Always *keep the windscreen, head lights clean and neat for good visibility of the road*. Use High Beam often while travelling at high speeds in the nights_.

10. _*Never drive, not even for a single second, while you are drowsy or sleepy*. Pull the vehicle aside immediately and take enough rest before you start fresh. Either during day time or nights_.

11. _If you find any animal or people crossing the road then try to *cross them from their behind* so that you can avoid a clash_.

12. _Please *don't confuse other drivers* on the road by travelling at high speeds without giving any proper signals. Communicate decently with other vehicle drivers which is very important for smooth driving_.

13. _Most importantly don't get raged or irritated by other drivers. *Stay calm and be patient on the road*, we are driving but *not racing*_.
