Care. Participate. Know. Change tsubba - 29-AUG-2008An inspiring story from HD Kote shows why the geeks will rule the world. The Hindu A 14-km stretch connecting Bidarahalli with N. Begur in H.D. Kote wore out within a few months after it had been re-laid. The residents, led by a non-governmental organisation, filed an application under the Right to Information Act and found out that the money spent was not proportionate to the work done. They filed a complaint with the Lokayukta and we ordered the road to be re-built, Mr. Hegde said. |

How good is your Road Safety Knowledge - Test your self against 170 questions asj - 25-AUG-2008
For some time now I have been working towards making available an Interactive road safety quiz database for Indian road users.
Here is the entire quiz database of 170 questions available as two interactive quiz e-book's to test your knowledge of road safety related issues. This is a free downloadable resource for all who are preparing to sit the theory driving test as a part of licensing procedure. The latter is rare as most states in India still have not implemented a mandatory theory test for learner drivers. Hope is that Road Traffic Authorities in India use the above as a starting point for implementing a mandatory theory test for all new learner drivers. This resource is also likely to be a perfect way of refreshing the knowledge base of those who have been driving for several years.
