Total Nigeria has installed two high-tech driving simulators at its Truck Drivers Training School and Inspection Centre in Ibadan and its Head office in Lagos.
The move is part of Total Nigeria’s commitment to improving road safety with the broad objective to replicate and model real-life driving conditions for the purpose of building safe driving practices and culture amongst truck drivers in the country. The simulators are to serve as active training tools that will be used to prepare drivers for the management of unpredictable hazards that may occur when driving, such as collision avoidance.
Studies have shown that motor vehicle crashes are significantly higher among inexperienced drivers during their first year of licensure, indicating also that crash risks decline with increased experience. With this knowledge, Total Nigeria has said training such drivers using these simulators significantly reduces crash risks.
