Mumbai got to participate in the Safety Driving Forum organized by Nissan Motor India on February 16 and 17. The idea behind organizing the Safety Driving Forum in the country is to increase the awareness about road safety and highlight the benefit of modern safety technologies in cars.

The Nissan Safety Driving Forum was first organized in Delhi in the first week of February. The car manufacturer is planning to take its initiative to Chennai also. During the two day event, individuals were given an opportunity to learn about the importance of road safety through panel displays and simulator devices.

The mall visitors who took a detour to experience the Nissan set up, got to learn how airbags function during an accident and the importance of wearing seatbelts while driving or travelling in a car. The participants also got a chance to know more about importance of Anti-Lock Brake System on a simulator vehicle.

At the launch, 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."
