Much of the world wide web is full of sarcasm & mocking of the indisciplined driving on Indian roads. Unfortunately in since 60 years since independence the authorities have failed to publish a National Highway code. Licences are given to anyone who can demonstrate an ability to use the clutch-accelerator, consequently the motoer driving schools teach just that and no more. Concepts such as - blindspots, principle of MSM, the tyre & tarmac rule, 2 second gap and most improtantly giving way are not known to the average Indian driver.<BR/><BR/>This site http://driving-india.blogspot.com/ has been created with the purpose of providing driver education and training to all Indian road users. It is by far the most comprehensive website providing training in defensive driving. Learning simple road habits can make our roads safe and also free up congestion caused by traffic chaos.<BR/><BR/>At present 17 driver education videos aimed at changing the driving culture on Indian roads are available. The video are unique in that the footage is real life action from streets of London. We have copied the Western habits: Replaced the dhoti with denim, high rise buildings for Indian cottages, burgers and coke instead of Indian breads and perhaps sugarcane juice. Surely we can copy the Western ways of travelling too.<BR/><BR/>To watch the videos, interested readers may visit: http://driving-india.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>The videos cover the following topics:<BR/><BR/>Video 1: Covers the concept of Blind spots<BR/>Video 2: Introduces the principle of Mirrors, Signal and Manoeuvre<BR/>Video 3: At red lights, stop behind the stop line<BR/>Video 4: At red lights there are no free left turns<BR/>Video 5: The Zebra belongs to pedestrians<BR/>Video 6: Tyres and Tarmac (rather than bumper to bumper)<BR/>Video 7: Merging with the Main road<BR/>Video 8: Leaving The Main Road<BR/>Video 9: Never Cut Corners<BR/>Video 10: Show Courtesy on roads<BR/>Video 11: 5 Rules that help deal with Roundabouts<BR/>Video 12: Speed limits, stopping distances, tailgating & 2 seconds rule<BR/>Video 13: Lane discipline and overtaking<BR/>Video 14: Low beam or high beam?<BR/>Video 15: Parallel (reverse parking) made easy<BR/>Video 16: Give the cyclist the respect of a car<BR/>Video 17: Dealing with in-car condensation<BR/><BR/>Many thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14719121.post-1159463313897673352006-09-28T19:08:00.000+02:002006-09-28T19:08:00.000+02:00Well, now you're ready to come and drive in Nîmes,...Well, now you're ready to come and drive in Nîmes, it's quiet the same rules of driving...except that we usually still drive on the right side of the road.<BR/>the Nimois are the worse drivers of France, did you know that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14719121.post-1159450665839505862006-09-28T15:37:00.000+02:002006-09-28T15:37:00.000+02:00Merci Arjun !Je me suis bien marrée à lire ton tex...Merci Arjun !<BR/>Je me suis bien marrée à lire ton texte et à imaginer tes aventures au volant !

I should stop reading your blog for sometime...you make me miss India...Its so much of fun and challenging to drive there...here its so monotonous and boring. I guess Indian roads are designed for spiritual reason, its a training ground to face the life's twists, turns, bumps and unexpected obstacles with equanimity and to reach the final destination..Uma Maheswarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05789984837995877707noreply@blogger.com
