Our 'best' cities for business

In a magazine recently, I read a "best cities for business" survey with interest. The Business Today-Synovate survey. Besides being interested in knowing Bangalore's rank - we climbed down from #1 last year to #3 behind Mumbai and Delhi - I also wondered about the method they used for the survey.

Often drivers don't use any lights even when it is dark, on other hand, some use the high beam even in built up urban areas. This short film hopefully will help create awareness amongst drivers. This is vital as correct use of lights can avert accidents.

Lane discipline and overtaking

Video13: Lane discipline and overtaking The driving test in India at best expects learner drivers to manage the clutch and accelerator. Given that there is no theory test, drivers have little understanding of blind-spots, principle of mirrors signal and manoeuvre. Both these concepts are vital to effectively manage changing lanes and overtaking safely. This video hopes to bring these principles to fore.

Speed limits, stopping distances and 2 second rule

Video 12: Speed limits, stopping distances and 2 second rule Travelling on Indian roads involves enduring indisciplined traffic. Over and above this, lack of training and information means few if any of the drivers are aware of speed limits, stopping distances and the rather useful 2 seconds rule. This video makes this vital information available to all drivers.
