Be cautious of road conditions and other drivers. In unfamiliar areas, defensive driving can help avoid accidents. Watch out for unexpected hazards such as potholes, wildlife crossing the road, or vehicles stopping abruptly.
Keep a safe distance from other vehicles, and avoid distractions while driving. By staying aware of your surroundings, you'll be better prepared to react to any sudden changes on the road.
Respect Pedestrians and Wildlife
Many tourist areas have high foot traffic and wildlife crossings. Be vigilant to prevent harm to both. Always give pedestrians the right of way, especially in busy tourist areas or near attractions.
Additionally, slow down in regions known for wildlife. Animals may appear suddenly on the road, and hitting them can cause serious accidents and harm to the local ecosystem.
Keep Goa Clean
Goa's natural beauty is one of its biggest attractions. To help preserve this environment, please dispose of your waste responsibly. Use designated bins for trash and recycling, and avoid littering on beaches, streets, and public spaces. Remember, a clean Goa is a beautiful Goa!
Don't Drink and Drive
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Goa has strict laws against drunk driving, and it's dangerous to yourself and others. Your safety and the safety of others should always come first.
