ROAD (TRANSPORTATION) SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING MONSOON.
✅ The entire vehicle should be fit for the monsoon season. Carry out pre-monsoon checks like wiper, headlights, horn, reverse horn, tyre condition, brake etc. These should be in good and working condition.
🔰Accelerate your vehicle gradually, anticipate sudden stops, and avoid sudden braking as that could lead to skidding of the vehicle.
🔰Drive very carefully through the flooded area. Do not take the chance of driving through the flooded areas if the pool of the water is more than the height of the tyre. You may encounter unseen hazards like open manhole, muddy area or trench, undulation or other objectionable objects etc.
🔰If visibility is poor due to heavy rain or fog then the parking light or headlight must be ON. Drive at a controlled speed. Lower visibility requires higher concentration.
🔰Look out for pedestrians, hand cart pullers and cyclist,s etc on the road.
🔰Do not park vehicles on the road during rain. If it is necessary then the vehicle may be parked on the left side with parking lights on.
🔰Drive in the Lane. Do not drive the vehicle on the wrong side.
🔰Fasten your seat belt.
🔰Do not overload the passenger transportation vehicles.
🔰Do not allow anyone to travel on trucks and back deck of the trailers along with the materials.
🔰Ensure the roads are safe to transport heavy materials.
🔰Follow road traffic rules.
