Help Reduce Irresponsible Drivers On the Road

[Hero33]

Make them attend a R.I.D.E. (Responsibility In Driver Education) session to be taught by JP Tuason of Tuason Racing school.

Admission is free and you don't have to own a Ford.
For ages 15-25, start them while they are young!

Instead of negative aggression, lets help give back to the community instead by spreading the right information for our pedestrians and motorists.

We have one coming up in Dasma, Makati this may 20, a saturday 1-3pm * the multi-purpose hall in Dasma Park.

Hope to see you all there!

California got the same program. I got a speeding ticket many moons ago, the magistrate gave the choice of paying for the ticket and points for Insurance or pay in a discount rate and attend Driver Safety Seminar with no point for the insurance rate. I chose the latter and it help me a lot.

[Hero33]

Yup!

we are hoping, with your support and other youths, we can make a difference in Philippine traffic conditions not by making metal barriars on the road, but by putting what the signs and symbols mean, in their head.

onga...what i think kung bakit maraming irresponsible drivers is mainly due to the ignorance of the law.

Kulang lang sa info yang mga yan....

hindi lang dapat para sa mga youth yang programang yan, dapat itarget din yung mga PUV drivers...

most pinoys in foreign land are professionals/educated people...
while PUV drivers at home are mostly undergrads... some dont even know how to read/write...get their license "paid" thru "pimps" or other means...
even without attending/passing the "test" conducted at LTO-licensing office.
and the LTO somehow tolerate this...

all PUV drivers and/or their vehicles aren't insured. even the TPL required by the LTO for registration are sometimes faked. so they'll probably end up just paying for the fine.

1.2 million Lives are lost yearly in road accidents. Globally that’s 3,242 lives per day, 2 lives per minute. Statistics show that young people aged 17 to 24 are more likely to be involved in road crashes than any other age group. That is why educating them as early as possible is key to preventing such accidents from happening. The SK of Dasmarinas Village with the leadership of it’s SK Chairwoman, Maria Luisa and in cooperation with the Ford Road Safety Youth Council is having a seminar this Saturday, May 20, 2006 1-3pm at the 2nd floor multipurpose hall Campanilla Park.

The seminar is called R.I.D.E. or Responsibility In Driver Education and is for people ages 15-25. The seminar will teach not just driver, but also passenger and pedestrian road safety. You don’t have to have a driver’s license to join as road safety is not just for those who drive. It shall be taught by JP Tuason of Tuason Racing School. JP is an AF3 race car driver and is a strong believer in road safety, showing that Racing and Safety can be put in the same sentence.

The Ford Road Safety Youth Council was founded because of Ford Philippines' commitment to road safety as a way to create awareness for road safety by the youth for the youth.

Ford has forged a partnership with 3 organizations who support the advocacy in road safety, namely Tuason Racing School (TRS), Society of Philippine Motoring Journalists (SPMJ) and the Safety Organization of the Philippines, Inc. (SOPI) for the implementation of the R.I.D.E. seminars.

The R.I.D.E. seminar includes topics such as driving accident facts, road signs and common traffic violations, defensive driving, road hazards, driving etiquette and techniques, car conditions and understanding the vehicle’s safety features.

The R.I.D.E. program has already in the past year conducted sessions in 13 schools in Metro Manila and is also conducted for a number of Ford’s fleet customers and employees.

Those who join the seminar may then sign up for the R.I.D.E. Defensive Driving course where they will be taught a hands-on lesson with a trained instructor from Tuason Racing School. They can also join the Road Safety Youth Council (RSYC) an organization with an advocacy for road safety. It’s a great out of school activity for the youth and will help make a difference in society. It is also a great way to meet new people and learn how to work in the corporate world!

indeed! a great project of jp tuason.

in the first place...trabaho ng gobyerno to. hinde dapat pinamimigay ng LTO ang lisensya porket nagbayad...dapat may natutunan ang isang gustong maging motorista.

Having a DRIVING LICENSE is not a priviledge...

[Hero33]

Just to clarify, this is a project of Ford Philippines, Tuason Racing School, Safety Organization of the Philippines and the Society of Philippine Motor Journalists.
