This leads to the growth of road year by year. LMV commercial drivers carrying passengers must have a lot of focus on controlling road rage, good road user attitude and behaviour, Stress management, tips to overcome physical and mental fatigue, socially relevant topics such as alcoholism & drunken driving, besides topics related to driving a vehicle and traffic education.
