Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India have started a road safety awareness drive in Jaipur. This is happening in association with Rajasthan State Police. As a part of this 3-day event, the aim is to impart knowledge on important aspects of road safety and also educate over 400 newly recruited police officials of the state. This event is set to happen at Rajasthan Police Academy located at RPA Road, Pani Pech, Nehru Nagar, Jaipur. The newly recruited Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Sub-inspectors and Constables of the state will form the major part of the audience of this event. With this knowledge, they can selflessly dedicate their lives to protecting the citizens.
Under this HMSI’s 3.5-hours training, the program educated the participants through the theory session on road rules and regulations. Furthermore, the participants also gained knowledge of road signs and markings, driver’s duties on the road, riding gear and posture explanation and safe riding etiquette. The training was then followed by Honda’s virtual riding simulator to experience nearly 100 possible dangers on the road before actual riding.
Honda also imparted knowledge to improve the risk prediction ability of riders on roads. The participants underwent special danger prediction training known as Kiken Yosoku Training (KYT). This training helps enhance rider/driver’s sensitivity to danger and also ensures safe driving action on roads. The participants implemented the learnings through practical training on a Honda two-wheeler to have a more holistic understanding of road safety.
With the number of road accidents in the country rising, the need for the hour is proper road safety training. Honda has been a top contributor in this segment. As per its global aspirations, Honda will strive for zero traffic collision fatalities involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles by 2050. HMSI has also been promoting road safety in India since its start in 2001 and has been quite proactive. They have conducted various road safety initiatives and have spread this knowledge to more than 46 lac Indians.
