7. Maintain distance from other motorists

There are certain driving conventions that should be learned by all drivers. Two-wheelers should be given enough space. Some motorists may behave in ways that are quite quirky and adventurous, causing trouble for other road users. Maintain appropriate distance from other motorists so that there is enough room to maneuver for all.

8. Avoid distractions

Ensure that there are no distractions while you are driving. Do not use mobile phones while driving. Using your cell phone to text, answer mails, for social media posting, checking directions and also make calls is the number one cause of road accidents.
