KARACHI: Indus Motor Company held a 5-day course on Road Safety and Traffic Injuries, in partnership with NED University, Aga Khan University and Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre.

The course is aimed at reducing road casualties through the delivery of road safety education and training to help make Pakistan a safer place to walk, cycle, ride and drive.

“Raising consumer awareness on active safety system has been a significant challenge in Pakistan’s automotive industry. Road Safety awareness is one of the priority themes for our Traffic Safety Program at IMC and we will involve partners working together to reduce road traffic accidents. Not a day goes by without a fatal accident on our roads, and very often these involve young drivers. If this course saves just one life then we have made a difference,” said Shah Saad Hussain, Director, Corporate Planning and Customer Relations.

In intensive sessions, Prof Dr Geetam Tiwari and Prof Dr Dinesh Mohan of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, renowned experts in Road Safety, shared similar problems and the strategies being used to minimize road traffic incidents in India.

They discussed the challenges and measures being taken in India, and were frank in the interaction with participants, explaining both the achievements as well as the shortfalls.

Participants included academia, traffic engineering experts, doctors, representatives of the automobile industry, private sector companies, petroleum companies, transportation companies, police, government departments, road and civil engineers etc.

I dont see sense in bragging about it after doing it so secretly for people who are already of the educated lot.

It should have been advertised and open for general public. There is no reliability in the government issued driver's license (driving license as we call it here :p). So soon people would look for certifications while hiring a shauffer

@testdriver yes brother this was need of hour so as to reduce accidents of corolla bcoz of its breaks

trickle down info, needs a start no matter from where

i categorize drivers as
1. immature (racing with every other vehicle on road casuing nuisance to everyone)
2. mature (abiding most of the rules)
3. public transport (drive as if road belongs to them, with no regard to passengers on board and pedestrians on road)

if we somehow manage to educate 1,2 then no. 3 would have to, e.g. if ppl dont park their cars on bus stops then transporters'd ve to stop there with no excuse.

we always look toward govt. /law enforcement agencies for proper implementation of prevailing laws and for new legislation but neither we take part in choosing legislators nor we abide by any principles/laws. we want things at our door step over night without striving for them.

we have to do whatever we possibly can and spread awareness, future of any nation lies in the hands of their youth and i am pretty optimistic that they can bring that change what ppl of pak are longing for since its birth.

All in all, i think it's a positive move no matter whosoever started it.
