Pedestrian Safety
Riders are encouraged to take a few measures to help maintain their safety.
Long trips for example, should be planned ahead.
Helmets should always be worn, regardless of the length of the journey. It is the riders responsibility to ensure his
or her helmet adheres to the official safety guidelines such as having a chin guard for instance.
The bike itself needs to be looked after carefully too:
Tyres must have 2 3 mm of tread left, and should be properly inflated as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
All the tyres should be checked before the journey, as driving with under-inflated tyres may prove dangerous.
The brake oil should be checked regularly.
While driving, a safe distance has to be maintained both in front and behind, giving enough time to react in case of
emergency braking.
Other safety features includes turning on the headlights during late evenings. In some countries it is compulsory for
all two wheelers to have their lights switched on regardless of whether it is nighttime or daytime.
Speed is another factor in accidents: concrete roads are far more slippery than tar roads during the monsoon
season, so driving at a moderate speed is the best practice.

What is the rollover propensity of the commonly used TWV using the latest
manoeuvrability assessment tests and how does it compare to conventional
vehicles?
(ii) What is the optimum configuration of the TWV to minimize rollover propensity ?
(iii) Even if rollover is initiated, under what condition does the TWV roll over?
(iv) What are the measures of injury to occupants and pedestrians in the crash
incidents?

Conclusions
While Implementation of Safety Regulations as per road map of India will
continue to demand minimum safety, the safety initiative like Indian-NCAP
will demand safety beyond Regulations.
Proposed New safety Bill will act as an enabler for Improving Road Safety
Scenario in India.
Indian-NCAP will go a long way in creating safety awareness among
consumers, reduce the injuries and road fatalities.
Periodical collection of Accident Data will provide Inputs to Improve safety
measures.
Special emphasis is being given to ensuring safety of 2 and 3-wheelers and
budget-cars.
Governments special drive for Driver Education programs and investments
highway infrastructure development will enhance overall Safety and Security
of Vehicles and Occupants in Indian scenario.
