Many car drivers do not remain alert while driving and drive ignoring the rules, which is why the cases of road accidents are increasing rapidly in the country. Now the question is, what are the things a car driver should keep in mind for safe driving? If you are not careful while driving on the highway or expressway, your one mistake can lead to death.
While driving on the highway or expressway, many people overtake carelessly or do not drive in the right lane, due to which accidents occur and may even lead to loss of life.

Many people on the highway make the mistake of overtaking another vehicle from the left side, which is not right. For overtaking, it is always advisable to overtake any vehicle from the right side, but with caution.
If you want to overtake the vehicle moving ahead, then first of all blow your horn and alert the car in front. Overtake only when the car in front gives you the side.
If you are overtaking on the highway, then overtake through the correct lane on the highway. As we told you above, there is an overtake lane on the right side of the highway, overtake through this lane only. Highway-expressways in India range from two lanes to 8 lanes, so choose the right lane before overtaking.
While overtaking on the highway, maintain appropriate distance from the car moving ahead. Apart from this, give indicator before overtaking or changing lane. While overtaking, keep the speed of the vehicle within the speed limit.
After all, what is Lane Driving?
The lane on the left side of the highway or road is for heavy vehicles and vehicles running at low speed. The lane on the right side is made for fast vehicles and overtaking.
Lane driving: As the name suggests, driving in a lane. Suppose you are driving on a road which has 3 lanes, now the lane on the left is for low speed vehicles.
The middle lane is for those vehicles running at medium speed and the lane on the right is for those vehicles running at high speed. You should choose the right lane according to your vehicle and the speed of the vehicle, otherwise a major accident can happen during the drive.
On which side of the truck should the bike ride?
This question arises in the minds of many bike and scooter riders that if a truck is moving ahead, then on which side should we ride the bike or scooter?
Before knowing this question, you should know what blind spot is and why it is also called red zone. The truck driver can see the vehicles coming on the right in the side mirror, while the side mirror on the left side also gives information about the vehicle coming behind to a great extent.
This is the reason why it is advised to drive the two-wheeler on the right side of the truck so that the truck driver can clearly see the information of the driver coming behind on the side mirror on the right side.
But a bike or any two-wheeler should never be driven right next to the front gates or side mirrors of the truck, because this is a blind spot. This is such a place that a truck driver can see in the mirror and in such a situation the chances of a collision are very high. Even if you want to move ahead by overtaking the truck, overtake from the right only.
