The Advantage Nashik Foundation, Nashik till date has trained almost 1.5 laks students about this awareness campaign. With the same objective, Institute decided to provide these benefits to the students through this awareness week. Lakhs of people become disabled due to carelessness shown while not properly following traffic rules. The main cause for all the pain and loss of life is the fast and furious driving done by the people. We can stop these accidents if we follow the traffic rules properly. The main reason behind spreading traffic rule awareness is to make people aware about the astonishing numbers of victims in the fatal accidents mainly occurring because of their ignorance to traffic rules.He also gave information about “motor vehicle act and traffic rules” and also said that the best way to keep others and yourself safe is to follow proper traffic rules. Whenever you drive a car follow the traffic rules, it is important to wear helmet while driving a two wheeler, obey the traffic lights to avoid accidents. One should always wear seat belt while driving a car. Avoid rash driving as fast speed is the core reason of accidents. Always carry all the papers of the vehicle with you.
He showed a chart containing road safety signs and taught the students the meaning of the signs. He also mentioned that everyone should memorize the signs, as when you apply for driving license identifications of these come in the questions. If you are able to identify these signs then only you will get a license. The session for creating traffic awareness among students was very important as it makes them aware about the importance of their and others life. Students should come forward and follow these traffic rules obediently. Everyone should wear helmets and seatbelts while driving the vehicle. Be aware and also aware others.
