Student can use their own vehicle by follow following guidlines as per The Traffic
Rules levied by U.P. Goverment :
Guidelines for Motorcyclists :
The motorized two-wheeler rider is the one most likely to sustain serious injuries
no matter what he hits- a pedestrian, a cat or another vehicle. This is because
he is traveling at a speed more than 15 kmph without any protection around, and
the human body is not able to tolerate forces generated when the head or any other
bone hits hard and rigid objects at speed higher than 15 kmph.
Guidelines for Car Drivers:
Always carry your driving license and important documents
such as your vehicle registration certificate, insurance certificate, road tax and
P.U.C certificate with you while driving.
Don't Drink while Driving.
Don't Drive under the influence of drugs.
Obey all traffic signals, lights and signs.
Use the indicator or hand signals when changing lanes.
Adhere to permitted speed limits.
Don't use your cell phone while driving. If you must, move to the left, halt and
then make the call.
Irrespective of right of way, stay alert and be considerate to pedestrians especially
senior citizens, handicapped, ladies and children.
Do not overload your vehicles - be it luggage or passengers.
Do not use tinted glasses, lenses or visors or anything that restricts vision at
night or in poor visibility conditions.
Do not drink and drive as it adversely affects your judgment and abilities.
Wear seat belts.
Always drive using the correct gear.
Avoid sudden braking and harsh acceleration.
Never use the clutch as footrest while driving.
Do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Never tow greater weight than recommended
by the manufacturer of your vehicle.
Please ensure that all children under 14 years of age wear seat belts or sit in
an approved child restraint.
Driving in fatigue enhances the probability of an accident. To minimize this
risk you must follow these rules :
Make sure you are fit to drive. Do not undertake a long journey (longer than an
hour) if you feel tired.
Avoid undertaking long journeys between midnight and early morning hours, when natural
alertness is at its worst.
Plan your journey in breaks. A minimum break of at least 15 minutes after every
two hours of driving is recommended.
If you feel sleepy, stop at a safe place. Do not stop on the hard shoulder of a
motorway
The most effective ways to counter sleepiness are to take a short nap (up to 15
minutes) or drink, for example, two cups of strong coffee. Fresh air, exercise or
turning up the radio may help for a short time, but are not as effective.
