Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101 and 108 in your phone today. On the highway give the nearest village, the kilometre stone or a petrol pump, and the direction you were travelling.
On NH-48 keep a long gap behind trailers and tankers, especially near the Kherwara and Rishabhdev turns. Do not overtake on a bend, and slow down when traffic ahead brakes suddenly.
After a crash, switch on your hazard lights, move away from the carriageway and warn oncoming drivers from a distance. Call 112 before you try anything else, and do not move a badly hurt person unless there is fire or a risk of another collision.

If a vehicle cabin catches fire, get everyone out first, move well back and upwind, and call 112. Do not go back for belongings.
When the lake gates open in heavy rain, keep off the Ayad river banks and low causeways, and do not park vehicles on the river side of the road.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
