The over 3000 drivers in the employ of Peace Mass Transit 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 in matters of safety and customer handling.
The general manager of Peace mass transit, Ifeanyi Enete, has been impressing 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 and remind them of their obligations to our passengers and other road users, particularly during 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,” Enete pledged.
