Driving Manual Final - Gurugram Police, Government Of Haryana
PrefaceI am immensely happy to know that Haryana Police is organizingInter School Road Safety Quiz Competition for enhancing awareness abouttraffic laws, road regulations and driving skills. The school children areexcellent teachers and they have the capacity to influence their parentsand near and dear ones to follow traffic rules. It is therefore the need ofthe hour to target children to spread the message of road safety.Lack of driving sense and perpetual disobedience of traffic ruleshas made out roads extremely unsafe. It does not come as a surprisethat most of the drivers of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and eventhe traffic police personnel managing and controlling traffic on the roadsare not fully aware of traffic rules and regulations. Lack of awarenessabout the concept of safe or defensive driving coupled with poorenforcement of rules of the road have resulted in chaotic drivingconditions on Indian roads. More than, 1,40,000 persons die inaccidents on Indian roads every year Gravity of the situation can begauged from the fact that India has 1% of the World‟s vehicles and10% of the road accidents.Lack of driving skills is the single most important cause of trafficaccidents in the country. With increasing population and rising economicprosperity, lakhs of new drivers are added to our roads every year.The situation on road safety front will not improve unless theprospective drivers are imparted proper training in driving. One of thevery important steps to bring some discipline on the road and preventaccidents is to offer quality driver training and implement an effectivelicensing system. This driving manual is a step in the right direction inthat context and will go a long way in helping improve the drivingskills of our people.I congratulate Shri Shatrujeet kapur, IPS, Inspector General ofPolice for organizing Inter School Road Safety Quiz Competition toinculcate a culture of Road Safety in the young minds. This effort will go along way in inculcating good driving sense among the prospective youngdrivers.I wish them all the best.S.N. Vashisht, IPSDirector General of PoliceHaryana
