Edaran Tan Chong Motor will be organising a one-day driver safety training programme for Nissan owners – the Nissan Safety Driving Experience, as it’s called, will take place on September 6 at Mardi’s Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (Maeps) facility in Serdang.

The six-hour programme, which kicks off at 8.30 am, will consist of a theory session and five practical courses, where participants will be taught how to avoid accidents, control a skid, practice emergency braking as well as engage in slalom exercises techniques on obstacle courses. Participants will also be assessed with a series of tests to measure the level of their driving skills.

The programme aims to educate Nissan owners on handling their cars in various driving conditions and better equip them with the right driving techniques and minimise risks if the need to face potential road hazards and incidents arise.

Do take note, however, that the Nissan Safety Driving Experience is only open to owners of the following Nissan models, namely the Almera, Teana, Sylphy, Latio, X-Gear and Grand Livina, and that you’ll have to bring your ride along for the programmme. But, what better way to learn things than with your own car, eh?

Entrance fee for the course is RM100 per person, with a maximum of two persons to a car. Participants must be above 18 years old, and possess a valid driver’s licence. Registration for the event will close on August 29 – Nissan owners who wish to sign up should contact ETCM’s Customer Relations Department at 03-4047 8788 or email [email protected].

      Agreed. As a Nissan owner myself, I find it ridiculous to pay RM100, use my own car, and bear my own liability for a so called “event”.

      VW has done it already, using company cars. It was very successful.

    I’ve been to several BMW events where they promote the performance and safety of their cars. The events were free and cars were provided, regular showroom cars to show that BMW cars can take a beating.

    Shame on Nissan on not doing the same. I’m sure the cars can take it, it’s whether or not ETCM wants to spend the money…

    This is just PR for all the bad press of not including ESC as standard on Almera.

    Nissan just add ESC as standard across all range and stop this bullcrap of you can drive your way to safety without ESC.
