Safer Roads, Safer India. Safer Commutes, Safer Us
Yes! I pledge my support to Safe Roads India and to saving lives on
the road.
• I will share the road with pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists
and large truck/bus drivers.
•
I appreciate the value of life, and recognize the power
of serving as an example of safe driving. I therefore pledge to observe road
safety measures and rules every time I travel.
• I will not overtake, over speed, or give into road rage and rash
driving.
•
I will honk less, stop at the stop line at signals and
junctions. Give way to people crossing the street. Give way to traffic to the
right of me at junctions, circles.
•
I will do this, even when no one is watching me. My
conscience will be my guide.
• I will be a responsible driver, rider, pedestrian, and cyclist.
Responsible, Respectable and Patient Road user.
• I will observe the traffic rules and regulations concerning safe
driving and safe use of the road.
• I will not allow distractions like cell phone, talking, reading to
take my focus off the road.
• I will always be aware of my surroundings while driving / crossing
roads.
• I will not drink and drive. Nor take medication or drugs that cause
nausea, sleepiness, and slowed movement, inability to focus or pay attention (http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/ucm079514.htm).
• I will stay alert at the wheel, bike. Alert when on foot.
• I will not put others’ lives at risk, if my health is a hazard to
driving.
• I will ensure the usage of a seatbelt or helmet for all passengers.
• Walking cross road at zebra crossings, after looking at both sides. Or where
there is no zebra crossing when the traffic flow is less and in straight lines,
perpendicular to the road. Even on one ways will look both ways to make sure,
no one going the wrong way before crossing. If no markings, will not cross near
corners, where cannot see turning traffic.
• I will follow traffic signals and road signs
• I will maintain a roadworthy vehicle, and ensure I use indicators,
mirrors and lights appropriately at all times.
• This is a living document, add your own pledge points for self and
others:
I hereby declare my commitment to the Safe Roads India pledge as set
out above, to the best of my ability and will actively strive to follow the rules
and laws of the road. I also commit to sharing this message with colleagues,
