It was very heartening when we got the feedback about the positive impact of our training!
Today, about 160 employees of Pine Labs joined us for a Webinar on Proactive Driving (Defensive Driving). These are the field staff who are frequently out on the roads meeting customers or prospects, and also attending to service issues. A majority of them use 2 wheelers, so I tweaked the content accordingly.
I got feedback from a couple of them :
* Amit shared that he had learned about blind spots about a year ago, during my previous program, and has been very conscious of checking his blind spots before lane change.
* Vivek shared how the use of helmet saved him when he met with an accident at night due to poor visibility.
It is heartening not just to get this positive feedback, but also to know that people do listen, internalize, and apply the learning. It may be a small percentage, but every single person counts! And this gives us the energy and reason to persevere!
I took the opportunity to revise my content. Based on some of the insights I have seen on X (Twitter), particularly from @TopDriverIndia and @DriveSmart_IN, I incorporated some changes for
* Keeping the 2-sec distance ( 3 sec if speed > 70 kmph )
* CAS = collision avoidance space, especially in the context of clusters
* MSM = Mirror Signal Manoeuvre technique when changing lanes
Thanks to Nandini Jha and Pine Labs for prioritising road safety and organising this session.
