“521,446. This is the total number of road accidents recorded last year with 7,152 fatalities on the same Malaysian Road we all share. From this, 80.6% of road accidents are caused by human error.”

This shows that with the right training and willingness to change our driving behaviour and habits, we can make Malaysian roads safer for everyone in your organisation. Vehicle personnel of your organisation carry a large responsibility to deliver and transport products as well as other personnel safely to ensure the smooth running of daily operations whether at project execution sites or at the office. This programme will equip your personnel with the knowledge and understanding in identifying potential road hazards and how to safely steer clear from them. At the same time, drivers can improve their skills and minimise on-the-road negligent behaviour while carrying out their various duties on the road.

Effective Defensive Driving & Vehicle Handling Skills
Defensive Driving is defined as driving to safe lives, time, and money despite the conditions around you & the action of others (National Safety Council America).
Malaysian drivers are notorious for being reckless on the roads as reflected in our appalling total number of road accidents recorded annually. Which is why at MRS, we desire to play our part in creating stronger road awareness & building more defensive drivers to make our roads safer for all Malaysians!
One of our core objectives is to enable participants to achieve crash-free driving by identifying driving errors and correcting them. Through our programmes, we have instilled positive driving mindsets & sustainable behaviours by utilising the Hearts & Minds training methodology which is deeply incorporated into our training.
Objectives
- To enable drivers to drive defensively using specific techniques (on-road, off-road)
- To achieve crash-free driving by identifying driving errors
- To improve driving mind sets and behaviours
Who Would Greatly Benefit?
Companies with a fleet of vehicles should equip their designated employee-drivers with the right driving habits, attitudes, systems and techniques while on the job.
Both young as well as seasoned drivers will find this training a great eye-opener!
