The MotorBeam Pledge – Let’s Make Our Roads Safer

We don’t want to go into stats but we all are well aware about how unsafe our roads are, only because of us. If we take responsibility and follow rules, roads will be much safer than what they are today. A few changes in our driving style can ensure a more peaceful journey for other road users as well as ourselves. So today, on MotorBeam’s 5th anniversary, we are taking “The MotorBeam Pledge”.

We At MotorBeam Pledge That –

• We will not use mobile phones while driving
• We will never drink and drive
• We will not use high beam in the city
• We will not honk (reverse horn included) excessively, especially not near a hospital or school
• We will park only in designated parking areas, ensuring maximum parking space is available
• We will not cut across lanes abruptly
• We will change lanes swiftly by maintaining at least one car distance and will indicate well in advance
• We will show respect to other road users, especially pedestrians
• We will stop before the Zebra crossing, not ON it
• We will use all three rear view mirrors (two for bikes) extensively
• We will drive inside a lane not on a lane marking
• We will not drive fast in congested areas
• We will keep the vehicle’s medical kit up to date
• We pledge to give way to the ambulance ALWAYS
• We will slow down considerably at intersections
• We will always overtake from the right side only
• We will move to the left lane well in advance if we want to exit the road, we won’t cut across last moment
• We won’t stop on the road abruptly, nor at turnings, nor will we travel in the wrong direction
• We will take turns only where they are permitted, even if it means going 2 kms for a U-turn
• We will not have road rage, no matter how much anyone tries to provoke us to speed, we will always ignore them
• We will always use a helmet (for bikers) and seat belt (for cars), even if the distance is as short as 100 meters, irrespective of where we sit (even as a pillion or rear seat passenger)
• We won’t break signals and will never drive off when the timer says 2 seconds remaining. Instead we will wait for the signal to turn green.
