Road safety is a key concern area for both the Government and the people on Indian roads. Safe driving today requires a higher level of confidence and competence, given the poor traffic planning, increasing the number of vehicles, lack of professionalism in driving and untrained drivers on the road. In a bid to address these issues, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. has launched Maruti Driving School — its initiative for promoting safe driving along with Ambal Auto. MDS not just imparts better driving skills but also tries to inculcate safe driving culture through special theoretical sessions for behavioural training and road sense. The school was the first to introduce advanced driving training simulator for better judgment and concept of route maps for holistic on-road practice. Having started from Bangalore in March 2005, Maruti Driving School has now spread its network throughout the country. It is dedicated to making Indian roads safer by helping learners become smart and responsible motorists.
