Essential Guidelines

Slope Danger

उतारावर सावधान

Specific to Navale Bridge & Slopes:

  • NEVER switch off your engine on a slope to save fuel.
  • NEVER put the gear in Neutral. This cuts off brake power.
  • Use Engine Braking (keep car in lower gear) to control speed.

Night Driving

रात्रीचा प्रवास

Visibility is key at night:

  • Use Low Beam when vehicles are approaching from the opposite side.
  • Install Anti-Glare Black Stickers (free from us) on headlights.
  • Clean your windshield and mirrors before starting.

Tyre Safety

टायर सुरक्षा

Prevent bursts at high speed:

  • Check tyre pressure (Air/Nitrogen) every week.
  • Do not over-inflate tyres in summer; heat expands air.
  • Check for cuts or bulges on the tyre sidewalls.

Driver Fatigue

झोप आणि थकवा

Don't drive while drowsy:

  • 12-Hour Rule: Never drive more than 12 hours a day.
  • Take a 15-minute break every 2 hours.
  • If eyes feel heavy, stop immediately and sleep. Coffee is not a substitute for sleep.

Safe Distance

सुरक्षित अंतर

Avoid rear-end collisions:

  • Maintain a 50 Feet Gap from the vehicle ahead on highways.
  • Use the "3-Second Rule": Pass a landmark 3 seconds after the car ahead.
  • Increase distance in rain or fog.

In Emergency

आणीबाणी संपर्क

  • Call Appu Jankalyan Trust: 98237 56922.
  • Do not move an injured person unless there is fire danger.
