When you are driving on the roads, you need to be a very responsible driver. Your one mistake can not only affect your life but there are chances you would put other innocent lives in danger too.

Many times life doesn't give you a second chance. Especially if you are driving. Mistake made during driving can affect you physically, mentally. Many people take long time to overcome the trauma after facing the mishap.

We all know do's and dont's of driving, but not all practice those.

Few days back there was an incidence where a young girl died in an accident while texting while driving. Ironically her text message was something like 'you should not text while driving'.

For all learner drivers, DSA has thoughtfully prepared a very good syllabus that covers all important aspects of driving.
Car, Motorbike theory testhas sections on vulnerable road users, road and traffic signs, speed limits, important documents etc.

Test also consists of DSA hazard ...
... perception section, which is like driving on the road - identifying, judging, and reacting to hazards from driver's point of view.

So basically every learner driver has to go through the DSA theory test preparation, driving practical test to prove he/she is well prepared for the road. Then only he/she gets full professional driving license,Still accidents happen! Why?

Because we just forget all the training we had been given while DSA theory test preparation.Driving theory test questions, Free hazard perception test, mock theory test preparation is not just passing your driving test, but they are actually designed for practicing on the road.

These days communication has become very easy and many have got almost addicted to it.There are people who can't stay away from communication gadgets.And that is the main reason of accidents on the road.

Drivers tend to forget simple things -


Do not accept/make call when you are on wheels - All phone calls divert driver's attention from the road.

Law doesn't allow you to use hand held mobile while you are on the wheels, not even at traffic signals.


If the call is too important, park at safe place then take/make that call. But even for an important call you are not allowed to use the hard shoulder of the motorway.That is reserved for emergency breakdown.


If you know someone is driving, don't call them, or if you come to know someone is driving ask them to call back after they have parked their vehicle at safe place.

If all of us remember these simple things, take all possible precautions while driving, then the purpose of driving theory test, driving practical test,Hazard perception test would be solved.
