Driving in India: Driver Education & Training Videos covering all aspects of defensive driving
All 17 driver education Videos are now availble on a DVD, click here for more details
Traffic rules in India are rarely followed. Road safety in India is not given importance. 10% of the global accidents occur in India. The Internet is full of mocking of the indisciplined driving on Indian roads. This site creates awareness by providing driver education and training to all Indian road users. It covers all aspects of defensive driving. Learning simple road habits and skills can make Indian roads safer.
The 17 videos cover the following topics
- Covers the concept of Blind spots
- Introduces the principle of Mirrors, Signal and Manoeuvre
- Show Courtesy (Gandhigiri) on roads
Indian traffic rules, regulations and laws are not known to the common road users। The Indian traffic authorities have failed to publish an Indian National Highway code in the 60 years since independence. Licence is given to anyone who can use the clutch-accelerator, thus the Indian motor driving schools teach just that. Most Indian drivers are not aware of the concepts of defensive driving. Its believed that poor law enforcement of Indian traffic rules and regulations causes chaos on Indian roads. Yet lack of training & respect for the other contributes most to traffic chaos, congestion and jams on Indian roads. For a better understanding of the possible reasons behind the traffic chaos on Indian roads, please read my article Chaos on Indian Roads: A Psychiatrists Perspective

The DVD is sent out on the agreement that it will be used on a not-for-profit basis. Groups & NGOs working to improve road safety in India may be given preference. Individuals may make copies for friends /relatives and use it for free public education workshops. Mass copying or modifying the content or label without permission is unacceptable. The main reason for making the Promo DVD is to attract potential donors willing to fund mass production of the DVD for free public distribution.
