In the last module, we learnt about the various causes of accidents. Let us see what are the basic road safety rules to be followed by everyone.
 
India has designed its own road safety rules for protecting the road users from meeting with accidents and injury.
As per the Indian law,
  • One should be eligible to get a driving license at the age of \(18\).
  • Sound horn is prohibited near a hospital or a school zone.
  • Slow down on bends and turns, especially in hill stations.
