As even a standard safety helmet cannot withstand the direct thrust of a wheel of a bus weighing several tonnes (Gross Vehicle Weight), it is imperative to maintain a maximum safety distance when driving near heavy vehicles. Speed ​​and patience during morning rush hours (Rush Hour Hazards): Rushing should be avoided in the face of traffic congestion during morning office and school hours. Careful consideration should be given to the lane limits of oncoming buses or lorries, especially on narrow roads. ​Lane discipline and safe driving: On single lane roads, never crossing the neutral white line, driving only in your own lane and giving enough space to heavy vehicles coming from the opposite direction is essential for life safety. In case of an accident, call 1990 Suvasaria Ambulance Service immediately.
