Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() High Points: Keeping in mind Team-BHP's commitment to safe driving, Ford is organising a "Driving Skills for Life" program only for BHPians. You can own any make of car as a participant (or even not own one at all). Only requirement is a commitment to driving safe, and motivation to improve your driving skills. Participation is free of cost. - What? Refer to the post below for my report on the DSFL program. - When? Sunday, September 18, 2011 at Metro Ford (St. Marks Road) Bangalore. - Time? Starting at 10:30 am. Will go on till about lunch time. Lunch will be served to the participants. - Capacity? The session can accommodate 50 BHPians. Prior registration is mandatory. - How do I register? EDIT on 8th September : Registrations have now closed as the max capacity has been reached. Thanks to all the participating BHPians. Thanks to Ford India for organising this event for us, and for pro-actively conducting the DSFL program across the country. India is in dire need of safer roads. P.S. Good chance to meet fellow BHPians too ![]() Last edited by GTO : 8th September 2011 at 22:47. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() "Driving Skills for Life" Source: Visit to Ford's Chennai Factory As part of its "Corporate Social Responsibility" initiative, Ford has recently launched the "Driving Skills for Life" education program in India. The program's scope will cover its employees, while some dealers too have evinced interest in conducting the program at their level. So, what is the Driving Skills for life program?

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() Now here's a company that does take "Corporate Social Responsibility" seriously. Excellent initiative by Ford. It would be great help if the powerpoint presentation is available to rest of the bhpians who are unable to attend the event. |

| ![]() Good move there by Ford. Is it limited only to BHPians or general folk as well? There is a growing trend of Corporate entities taking up such initiatives; hope they start reaching the grassroot too; wonderful beginning though. I mailed my details; hope to get a confirmation soon. I am amused by the kind of initiatives T-BHP takes; but not very amused by how quickly they fill up! :P |

| ![]() Nice finally a step in the right direction. We need more initiatives like this. In fact if Insurance companies recognise and credit people who have taken such courses with lower insurance rates it might even become commercially viable. |

| ![]() Very good initiative by Ford. I, for sure, would be among the first ones to sign up when this comes to Delhi. But i sincerely wish that getting a driver's licence wasn't such a joke as it is now and that they took strict driving tests before issuing one to anybody |
