Don't ignore the signs!

In today’s environment, ensuring safety and comfort of our family, friends and colleagues is of prime importance. India loses more than 100,000 lives due to traffic accidents every year; the sad part is that the lives of many have become just a statistic. We hear about a road accident almost on a daily basis in India. 

Given that urban planning is apathetic to modes of transport beyond cars, it is not surprising that motorcyclists, pedestrians and cyclists are the most vulnerable road users. Regulations on speed limits, passenger safety and drunk-driving are ignored, most glaringly by traffic officials responsible for enforcing them. But it isn’t always the treacherous roads or the non-functional street lights that cause accidents, it’s also the DRIVER!

This is why HOMESAFE came up with a Road Safety training programme for individual and company employed chauffeurs. We know that you trust your employee; maybe he’s been like family for years now. But it doesn’t mean that he has the knowledge and training to take on rash and abusive drivers, a common sight in Delhi. The Home Safe programme entails both theoretical and practical implementation of various road safety and defensive driving scenarios. This knowledge reduces driving risks by anticipating situations and enabling chauffeurs to make a safe well-informed decision.

Being a chauffeur doesn’t mean only picking and dropping clients to their venues but catering to them with etiquettes, making their ride stress-free and making driving a better as well as a safe experience. The programme uses a combination of various audio visual aids to increase adoption of the lessons imparted. It focuses on topics like soft skills, safety & first aid training, vehicle handling and language training. Making Delhi hassle free and completely safe is the responsibility of every individual, so drive safe and be safe!
