Driver’s Behavioural Training & Capacity Building Program
Inexperience and bad driving habits increases the risk of life, at the same time the number of new situations that we potentially can learn from, seem to decrease. Thus, it is easy to think there is nothing new to learn and to rely too much on routine. Also in our survey, period from 2018 -22, we found evidence that, ‘Education’ improved the driving awareness and behaviour positively.
School, college Youth and students drives their vehicle in a dangerous way such as: Speed Driving, driving without license, Zig-zag Driving, etc. To prevent this, we have planned a school level campaign to empower students.They are not also adequately trained on Road Safety & behavioral aspects. First-Aid Golden Hour Rules, first responder training, Samaritan Law or Basic Motor Vehicle Rules and new MVA 2019 etc. which plays a major role for preventing fatalities .This program for High School Students is based on a survey on ‘Basic Road Safety Training’ for 14,000 High School Students at 104 Schools & Driver’s Refreshers Course for 1,000 Auto Drivers which was conducted under the supervision of RTO, Bhubaneswar II,2019-2022.
