The Over 2000 drivers in the employ of Peace Mass Transit (PMT)have been receiving refresher training on safe driving at the Emene, Enugu Headquarters of the company.
The training, which
has been ongoing since the onset of 'Ember Months, takes the drivers through
conventional safety drills and basic customer relations expectations.
PMT safety and
Customer Service Departments regularly oversee these rehearsals which are
designed to keep drivers properly grounded on matters of safety and customer
handling.
This time around, the
exercise coincides with the launch of some additional brand new Hiace Buses, to
re-jig the PMT fleet.
Safety Manager, Sunday
Igwegbe, himself a retired State Traffic Officer (STO) has been impressing it
on the drivers to make use of the
opportunity of the refresher to update themselves with the rudiments of
defensive and safe driving.
"Sometimes, doing
the same thing regularly can make you take things for granted", he
explained. " This exercise is meant to test them afresh, remind of their
obligations to our passengers and other
road users, particularly this busy period when there are more vehicles on the
highway, many driven by amateurs ".
" We keep doing
this regularly because that is the only way to go", Igwegbe pledged.
