Honda being a popular brand in Msia, I would have thought that at least 40-50 pax in the group. Or at least a few sessions held to accomodate the demand. As usual, such beneficial information is not available until after an event is over. Maybe that's why the turn out is so low. Defensive driving. Some called such training events, is essential to every drivers outthere. If everyone is trained to have a habit to look out for the other party's faults or mistake during on the road, the number of accidents could be reduced. Most of the motorist were motocyclist before graduating to car drivers. The mentality and behaviour of the motorcyclist on the road is therefore "transferred" or practiced during their command of the motor vehicle. They would turn into a side road irregardless of the motorist behind, they would overtake from the left even when on gravels, they would zig zagged from left to right on the road irregardless of other motorist. These are all trademarks of a motorcyclist that you could see everyday. Anyways, lets hope the driving school's curriculum would be changed to add in defensive driving basics.

As expected, I didn't make it to the 2nd interview. The competition was fierce, but it was a good experience.

Very good stuff and for free too. The best part is that they do it on their testing facilities in Shah Alam. Proton provides defensive driving as well as advanced driving training to their employees.
