New Delhi : Overtaking vehicles is also one of the major reasons for road accidents around the world. While driving on the highway, when the drivers of the vehicles coming from behind overtake them by blowing their horns, the drivers ahead do not remain without getting disturbed. Generally, traffic rules say that if you are driving at high speed on the highway and there is another vehicle driving ahead of you, then you should reduce the speed of your vehicle and signal the driver in front to move to the safe side. . But, instead of giving signals, most of the drivers start overtaking the vehicle in front at high speed by blowing a long horn. Similarly, to avoid overtakers and road accidents, a Japanese truck driver came up with a trick, which is currently going viral on social media.
