Heavy vehicles should never be reversed without the conductor or an assistant getting down and observing the rear and giving signals. Defensive Stance for Two-Wheelers: When stopped in front of a big bus or lorry on a narrow or steep road, never stop close behind it. It is essential to sound the horn as soon as you see the vehicle coming back, keep a safe distance and be ready to move the motorcycle aside immediately. Narrow Road Passing Protocol (Narrow Road Passing Protocol): When backing up to pass two vehicles on narrow roads, drivers must exercise extreme caution and ensure that other road users are not endangered. In case of an accident, immediately call 1990 Suvasarya Ambulance Service or 119 Police Emergency Call Unit.
