Mr. Supoj Ponpongkhajorn, General Manager of the Safe Driving Promotion Division at Thai Honda Co., Ltd., revealed that for over 37 years, Thai Honda has driven activities to disseminate knowledge of safe driving to Thai society. For the sixth consecutive year, Thai Honda has joined forces with the Office of Vocational Education Commission (OVEC) to organize the Safe Driving Skills Competition for vocational teachers and students. This aims to elevate the potential of everyone, providing them with internationally standardized skills that can be applied in daily life and contribute to safety for those around them. This year, teachers and students from vocational and private colleges across the country participated. This enthusiasm among vocational youth is not only a success for the competition but also a significant step in building a sustainable safe driving culture in Thai society.

The Vocational Education Committee recognizes that instilling safe driving skills in youth is crucial for building social awareness and responsibility. Therefore, they are committed to continuously promoting and supporting safe driving knowledge among students to cover all vocational education institutions nationwide, ultimately leading to improved road safety in daily life.

The competition was judged using a scoring system covering 5 safe driving skill stations: 1. Braking, 2. Low-speed balance driving, 3. Agility, 4. Written test of safe driving knowledge, and 5. Slalom and throttle control. The motorcycles used in the competition were Honda Wave 125 and Honda Wave 110 models. The winner received a Honda Wave 110 motorcycle and a trophy.
