Thane: The Thane Police have shared an important advisory for drivers to stay safe while driving during the monsoon season. The advisory was shared on Tuesday and includes simple but important tips that every driver should follow during heavy rains.
The police have asked drivers to avoid driving in heavy rain if possible. If you can, wait for the rain to stop before starting your journey. Before taking your vehicle out, check that it has no technical problems. Make sure the tyres, battery, brakes and wipers are working properly. These parts are very important for safe driving during the rainy season.
The advisory requests the citizens to use fog lights and direction indicators only when needed, especially during heavy rain. It is also important to keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. Roads can be slippery during the monsoon, and sudden braking can lead to accidents.
The Thane Police strongly advised against drinking and driving. Driving under the influence of alcohol is not only dangerous but also illegal. They reminded drivers to be responsible and avoid lane cutting or rash driving.
In short, the message from the Thane Police is clear: drive safely, check your vehicle regularly, and follow traffic rules, especially during the monsoon. Taking these small steps can help prevent accidents and save lives.
