Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt Ltd in association with Hyderabad Traffic Police organised a two-day ‘Mega Safety Drive’ that began at Siva Sivani Degree College on Thursday. Over 800 students participated in the event including female riders.

Highlighting Honda 2Wheeler India’s efforts to promote the idea of road safety amongst college students, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Senior Vice-President - Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt Ltd said, “We are committed towards creating a safe society and have taken up several initiatives across the country to promote road safety.

Our safety initiatives have so far empowered 13.33 lakh people and the number will surely rise further in the future. We shall continue to undertake such initiatives regularly to make our roads safer for vehicle users as well pedestrians.”

“More than two-third of two-wheeler accidents have happened due to wrong riding skills by the rider while on the road,” he said. Honda’s Mega Safety Riding Drive saw its task force of skilled women safety instructors teach college going females how to ride an automatic scooter in four hours.

The riding skill of students was enhanced further with a fun session on Honda’s proprietary two-wheeler riding trainer, a device that helps understand riding basics and experience possible dangers on road for both the rider as well as pedestrians.
