Do not drive without these documents with you

When you talk about the documents required before you go on a road, it depends upon the place/state/country you live in and driving. So before you learn to drive first read about documents and rules. Here are some of the general documents that you must have while driving:

1. Driving License (Must not be expired or invalid)
2. Certificate  of the Vehicle Registration
3. Insurance Certificate of the vehicle (Must not be expired or invalid)
4. The certificate of vehicle’s fitness and permit (Applicable for transport vehicles only)
5. Pollution Under Control Certificate (Must be valid and in control)

Traffic Rules and Regulations you must obey while on the road:

• General Rules Keep left on a two-way road ( and right for countries where the rule is to drive on the right side) to allow traffic from the opposite direction to pass on your right and on a one-way road that will allow vehicles to overtake you from your right.
• Stick to the left of the road when turning left. When you turn right, move to the center of the road you are leaving and arrive near the road you are entering on the left side.
• Slow down at the junctions of the road, intersections, pedestrian crossings and corners of the road and wait until you are certain of a clear passage.
• Do not park too close to a traffic light or a footpath crossing; on the main road or a heavy-duty road; in front of the opposite of another parked vehicle causing obstruction; on white-line roads; near a bus stop, school or hospital entrance; etc.
