These trainings explain about the importance of safe riding etiquettes, safety gears, road rules, traffic signs through an engaging mix of theory and videos. There also case studies taken into consideration.

The session is interactive and does last from 45-60 mins. There is a question-answer also along with each session. The 3 modules are as follows.

School Kids: Multiple learning modules for school kids as per different age groups. These modules aim to make kids aware about the traffic rules they need to abide by; be it while walking or riding a bicycle on road, commuting in a school bus or accompanying their parents on a two-wheeler or in a car.
