In such cases, hard braking or fast turning while cornering can directly affect the vehicle sliding into the opposite lane. ​Lane discipline and giving way to heavy vehicles: As long vehicles like buses take up more space on narrow mountain roads when cornering, it is mandatory for drivers of light vehicles to drive to the left of their lane at minimum speed. Quality and maintenance of tires: Maintaining proper tread depth in vehicles driving in hilly areas is essential to avoid such water slides. In case of an accident, call 1990 Suvasaria Ambulance Service immediately.
