Indian Driving Rules & Defensive Driving from Udemy

Please note this course is quite specific to India.

Whatever type of vehicle you may be driving, car, scooter, moped, motorcycle, goods vehicle, bus etc. this course is a must for you. Road rules are the same of all types of vehicles. Right-of-way rules decide preference of a vehicle over another at a road situation, not size of vehicle.

If you are driving a 2-wheeler this course is essential to safe guard yourself. If you are driving a 4-wheeler this course is essential for you so you don't accidentally hit smaller vehicles.

Driving is an activity you will be doing all your life so don't neglect the importance of rules and defensive driving as it may save your life on the road someday. Remember, a well trained defensive driver can drive safely in any traffic condition, any road, any weather, in any vehicle. That's because driver education is the foundation of road safety, without it even the best roads and best cars are useless in protecting you.

Most people think that there are about 5 to 10 road rules and they know it all, that's where lies the mistake. This course covers about 45 essential rules/topics which every driver needs to compulsorily know. To make it easier on you we have embedded about 65 videos to help you grasp the concepts easily.

Never a dull moment in this course of 5 modules of 30 mins each.

Good luck & Safe driving.
