As part of Road Safety Festomania - 2018, a
workshop on Road Safety was organized in Guru Gobind Singh College for Women,
Sector 26, Chandigarh on November 19, 2018. The students were educated on the
importance of following the traffic rules not only to avoid penalties but for
the sake of their own and others’ safety. The resource person, Ms. Parul
from Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. Ltd., explained the various
reasons of road accidents and stressed on the need to observe traffic rules in
order to reduce the number of casualties on the road. It has been statistically
shown that during the past 5 years the number of fatalities and injuries
associated with road accidents are steadily increasing, which is largely due to
ignorance of safety measures and non- adherence to traffic rules. Some
effective measures of road safety such as the use of good quality of
helmets, wearing of seat belts, the right use of indicators, defensive driving
according to weather and road conditions, use of vehicle lights & mirrors,
maintaining speed limits, understanding the traffic lights & signals, etc.
were emphasized. The students participated with enthusiasm in activities such
as slow riding and slalom. 10 finalists were selected from among the
participants for the final event to be held on November 24, 2018.
