characteristics style of Madurai with rich practical experience and mind

boggling video about the various accident scenes. He has explained the

explained the Hand signals. He has explained about 3 shapes of sign boards,

where Round shape is order and triangle is shape is caution and square /

rectangle shape is for information. In today’s highly complex world, “expect

the unexpected”, it is our duty and self responsibility to be responsible and

follow the road safety for our own safety and family and dependants. He

explained Seat belt, airbag, helmet are not sufficient and of course that are

needed, we should know about the fundamentals of safety, driving, rules

and regulations, hand signals, sign boards etc.

Why the even a good car with good condition, brake met with accident. He

has explained thinking and breaking which needs 2 seconds and one second

the car has to stop and within 3 sec, a car travelling with 60km will travel

about 16.6m per sec. And hence need for eternal vigil in while driving. Halt

will be very difficult and too tough as there will be very stringent norms for

giving driving license.

He has also explained that even very high end cars with very high safety features

met with accidents with very vivid pictures and he shared the pains and misery

of family who lost their bread winners in the accidents mainly due to not

following road safety rules.

He has explained blind spot, critical junction, merging, principles various video
