Every year more than 1.5 lakh lives are lost in India due to road accidents. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, 80% of the accidents are due to driver error. The driver error rate is so high in India because most drivers do not know even the basic road rules. Heavy vehicle drivers have additional responsibility toward safety as they drive larger vehicles and carry valuable cargo. This book can impart critical driver education on road rules to heavy vehicle drivers thereby reducing accidents and vehicle downtime. This book is intended for drivers of lorries, trucks, buses, tankers, medium size trucks, etc. This book is also available in other languages.
