4. DRIVE SAFE

5. 1. Carry out a thorough pre-monsoon check for your vehicle,
including batteries, tyres with recommended tyre pressure,
electrical wiring, engine and wipers
2. First and foremost: slow down! It takes longer to stop or adjust in wet
weather
3. Don't follow large trucks or buses too closely. Their tiers splash
water that ultimately obstructs your vision.
4. Be more alert . Watch out for brake lights in front of you.
5. Turn your headlights on even in a light rain, or in gloomy, foggy
or overcast conditions
6. Replace old or brittle wipers
7. Avoid off-road driving & Never drive beyond the limits of visibility
8. Never drive through moving water if you can't see the ground through
it; your car could be swept off the road
9. When driving through a puddle of uncertain depth, go slow. If it's deeper
than the bottom of your doors, turn around and find another route
10. If possible, stay off the road during heavy thunderstorms
11. Maintain a safe distance with the car ahead, one that's twice as longer
than in the dry. Braking distances are severely affected on wet roads

6. 12. Always stay connected with Metrological Dept/ Weather page / radio channel / news bulletin.
13. Concrete roads are very slippery, far more than our good coal tar roads. Bridges and flyovers can
also be extra slippery, so drive carefully over these areas.
14. Window fogging occurs due to a temperature difference between the inside surface of your glass
and the outside. For example, if you drive without the air-con and all your windows are shut, the cabin is
warmer than the outside, resulting in the window fogging up from inside. On the other hand, if you run
your air-con on full blast mode, the interiors of your car will be colder than the outside. Thus, your
glasses will fog up from the outside.
15. Remember, at any time, your life is more precious than your vehicle.
