Car, Motorcycle Rally to Promote Safe Driving

Dozens of male and female participants took part in a car and motorcycle rally in Patna on Sunday jointly organized by the Bihar Motor Association and the State Bank of India to promote safe driving in Bihar where vehicular deaths are as common and frequent as a political rally at Dak Bungalow crossing.

Men and women eager to participate in the 80 kilometer rally left the State Bank of India, Patna main branch near Gandhi Maidan, after Ranjit Kumar Das, the event official flagged off the race.

"Many lives are lost each day on Bihar roads and with this rally we hope to raise the awareness among both men and women that safety should be the first and foremost consideration while being behind the wheels," Das said.
