Defensive driving basics for Kerala traffic
See, think, act early — how to share roads with buses, autos and two-wheelers.
Defensive driving means assuming someone will make a mistake — and leaving yourself an escape. Keep space, scan far ahead and avoid driving in others’ blind spots.
Two-wheelers filter through gaps. Check mirrors before every lateral move. Buses pull in and out without much ceremony; give them room.
Never race a yellow light to “save time.” Most urban crashes cluster at junctions where patience would have been enough.
Structured lessons build defensive habits faster than years of unsupervised trial and error. That is the quiet promise behind every iTurn hour.
