Dave (Road Safety: City & Highways)

Speed Limit Awareness India 🇮🇳 🚨⚠️ Every road in India, got its own set of speed limits…before “pushing the accelerator pedal” understand basics… I. Route Type ⚠️ 1. Residential Area 2. City Road & Flyovers 3. Undivided State Highways through villages incl. Ghat Sections & Hilly Areas 4. 4 lane Highways 5. 6 Lane Highways II. Vehicle Type (Ground Clearance & Body Roll over Speed) ⚠️ 1. Higher CG’s e.g SUV’s, Mahindra Thar, Pickup Trucks & others 2. Medium CG’s e.g Tata Nexon 3. Lower CG’s e.g Sedans, Hatchbacks (Note: Lower ground clearance/lower CG’s to hold well even on curves) III. Overdoing Speed Limits & Reaction time 🚨 1. Reduces time to react again based on medical conditions. Differs from person to person 2. Increases Stopping Distance over braking IV. Speed Limits again depends on Surface Type 🚨 1. Dry Surface (Tyres to hold well over braking within Speed Limits) 2. Wet Surface (Hydroplaning + tyres won’t grip well, different tyre tractions over speed) 3. Loose Gravel/Sand/Mud (Tyres won’t grip well) - (Note: Remember to check on each surface while riding/driving just like how cricketers continuously checks pitch) V. Visibility (again based on eye sight)🚨 1. Clear Sky 2. Rain 3. Fog 4. Snow 5. Night (Avoid overdriving headlights at night) VI. Contact Surface ⚠️ 1. Every Automobile depends on Tyres, Tyres Contact Surface be it 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers, 4 wheelers, 6 wheelers or more… 2. Contact Surface varies with Tyre Pressure, Alignments, Load etc. VII. Tyre Rubber Compounds ⚠️ 1. Dry Grip 2. Wet Grip (Preferred) VIII. Tyre Types ⚠️ 1. H/T 2. A/T (More preferred for India incl. Offroad, Snow etc.) 3.
