One of the key highlights of the Siam Surakshit Safar initiative was the launch of a comprehensive road safety handbook. This handbook provides a detailed overview of the various road safety regulations and guidelines in India and is aimed at helping drivers and vehicle owners to become more aware of the measures they can take to ensure road safety.

In addition to the launch of the road safety handbook, the initiative also featured various interactive sessions, workshops, and exhibitions that showcased the latest technology and innovations in the field of road safety. The attendees were able to get a hands-on experience of the latest safety features and technologies being developed for vehicles.

Another important aspect of the Siam Surakshit Safar initiative was the emphasis on the importance of following traffic rules and regulations. This included highlighting the consequences of not following traffic rules, such as increased road accidents, and the need to adopt safe driving practices to reduce the number of road accidents in India.

In conclusion, the Siam Surakshit Safar initiative at the Auto Expo 2023 was a significant step towards raising awareness about road safety in India. The launch of the road safety handbook, the interactive sessions and exhibitions, and the emphasis on following traffic rules and regulations will go a long way in helping to reduce the number of road accidents in the country.

The automobile industry, government agencies, and other stakeholders must continue to work together to ensure that the roads in India are safer for everyone.
