• Drive on the left side: Keep to the left side of the road while driving. In case of no dividers or lanes, allow the traffic to pass safely through your right.

• Overtake from the right: Always overtake from the right side after flashing the indicator or honking the horn. Avoid overtaking on the narrow lanes as it may jeopardize others' lives.

• Respect traffic signals: Do not jump the traffic signals, as it can cause you a heavy penalty. Be extra patient in case any pedestrians are passing by.

• Obey 'No Parking Signs: Never park at a designated 'No Parking zone'. Also, do not park on busy corners or in the middle of the road where your vehicle can obstruct other motorists and cause accidents or chaos.

• Understand the road signs and markings: Every driver should understand and obey the markings and informatory signals on the road. These signs prepare you for what lies ahead. They also indicate what you're allowed or not allowed to do while driving on the lane further.

• Slow down at roundabouts and intersections: While approaching a corner/ intersection/roundabout, always slow down and honk a horn to warn the approaching vehicle.

• Carry relevant documents: A vehicle owner must always carry the following documents in his vehicle:

• For all Vehicles: Driver's License, Registration certificate, Insurance certificate, and Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate

• For Commercial Vehicles: Fitness certificate and tourist permits (for commercial vehicle)

• Adhere to the Speed Limits: Always adhere to speed limits both while driving within the city or on highways.

• Use of lights: Always make use of the side indicator lights while switching lanes or turning around. Also, use the fog lights and the emergency light at the time of heavy rains or fog. This warns the other motorists to maintain a safe distance while driving.

• Do not talk on mobile phones while driving: Never use mobile phones while driving. In case of an urgent call, firstly park your vehicle on the roadside and then use your mobile.
