Gender equality remains a challenge as in practice it is found wanting. There are men who believe that if we talk of gender equality, we will be fighting them yet we are only saying let us give women equal opportunities and equal space to express their capabilities.

Your safety, your responsibility!!!

Night Driving tips you need to know:

1. Clean Your Windshield:
Dust that you might not notice during the day can build up on the inside, too, so it’s important to clean your windshield both inside and out.

2. Check Your Lights:
Are your headlight and taillights in good working order? Are they aimed properly? What about your turn signals?

3. Don’t Look Into the Light:
Try not to look directly into the lights of oncoming traffic.

4. Increase following Distance and Reduce Speed:
If you can’t stop within the illuminated area you’re too close!

5. Be Seen on the Side:
If you need to pull over, be sure you’re easily seen by other drivers. Carry reflective triangles, turn on your hazard lights.

6. Don’t be Distracted:
Whether you’re texting, fiddling with the radio Taking your attention off the road is dangerous.

7. Watch for Pedestrians:
Always take extra time to watch for pedestrians and cyclists

8. Don’t Drink and Drive:
Don’t put yourself or others at risk by driving under the influence. Use defensive driving techniques
