He highlighted the importance of adhering to the “keep left” rule, especially on highways, and stressed that even unintentional breaches of this regulation can attract significant penalties.
Avinash’s contribution to this article underscores his commitment to public education on road rules and traffic law, reinforcing his reputation as a trusted legal expert in criminal and traffic matters.
