Road accidents in India kill almost 1.5 lakh people annually, and India accounts for almost 11% of the accident-related deaths in the world. Prevention of road traffic accidents is very crucial by creating awareness and taking proper measures toward road safety.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n AIMS:<\/jats:title>\n The aims of this study were to assess the knowledge about road safety regulations and to assess the attitude and practices regarding road safety regulations.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n SETTINGS AND DESIGN:<\/jats:title>\n This cross-sectional study was conducted in a pharmacy college.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n SUBJECTS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n Study participants were all 4 academic years' pharmacy students who know driving two- or four-wheeler motor vehicle. Data were collected from a sample of 132 by predesigned pretested semi-structured questionnaire.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED:<\/jats:title>\n Data were presented in proportions with confidence interval using SPSS ver. 22.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n 81.1% of the participants knew the minimum age to obtain driving license.
