Nissan launches Safety Driving Forum

Nissan announced the launch of the Nissan Safety Driving Forum in India to raise awareness of road safety and highlight the benefits of safety technologies in cars.

The program was conducted in Mumbai at NSDF in the parking area of The Inorbit Mall, Malad on February 16th and 17th, 2013.

This program was launched in Delhi in early February and will be followed by an event in Chennai as well. The two-day activity will enable participants to learn about safety through panel displays and simulator devices.

At the safety forum, participants will be taught the importance of seatbelts and how airbags function. Participants will also be able to test drive Nissan vehicles and learn about onboard safety technologies, including the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).

Announcing the launch, Mr. Takayuki Ishida, Managing Director CEO, Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd, said, "The growing number of cars on Indian roads has also resulted in increased number of accidents. Nissan as an automobile manufacturer understands its social responsibility and strongly believes that "Safety begins with ME."

The Nissan Safety Driving Forum has been formed to educate drivers, co-passengers as well as other road users on safety practices with a focus on reducing road accidents.”

Nissan seeks to support reducing fatalities and injuries caused by traffic accidents, and Nissan Safety Driving Forum represents the company's commitment to contribute to the new, growing mobility society.
