The student auto safety workshop hosted by JGSSM College in August 2025 is making headlines as a vital step toward building safer, smarter, and more responsible young drivers. With road accidents still being a major concern in India, especially among youth aged 18–25, this workshop aims to equip students with essential driving skills, awareness of traffic laws, and emergency handling techniques through a comprehensive training program.
This college workshop has been organized in collaboration with the local RTO, traffic police department, and a certified defensive driving academy. The program offers practical learning experiences that go beyond the textbook. Through simulations, real-life case studies, and hands-on vehicle demonstrations, students are being taught not just how to drive—but how to drive responsibly.
Workshop modules focused on road safety
At the heart of the student auto safety workshop is its focus on road safety and preventive awareness. The workshop is divided into multiple modules, each tackling a different aspect of safety. From helmet usage and seatbelt importance to nighttime driving challenges and handling aggressive drivers, the sessions are deeply practical.
Key topics covered include:
-
Defensive driving techniques for two-wheelers and cars
-
Hazard perception and accident avoidance
-
Alcohol and distracted driving awareness
-
First-aid response for road injuries
-
Understanding real-life traffic violations and legal penalties
This structure ensures that student driving becomes a consciously learned skill, not something picked up by imitation or trial-and-error.
Learning by doing: Practical demonstrations and drills
The college workshop is designed to be as interactive as possible. Students get hands-on experience through:
-
Mock driving tests using dual-control cars
-
Obstacle navigation exercises
-
Emergency braking drills
-
Reaction time measurements
-
Real-time visibility tests with and without helmet visors
Here’s a breakdown of the workshop structure:
| Day | Topic Covered | Activity Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Road safety basics & traffic signs | Classroom session + visual quiz |
| 2 | Vehicle control & speed awareness | Simulator-based training |
| 3 | Driving under stress | Role-play and discussion |
| 4 | First-aid & emergency drills | Live demo with Red Cross officials |
| 5 | Final test & certificate distribution | Road test & feedback session |
By learning through both theory and action, students walk away with practical tools they can apply immediately in their student driving routines.
Strengthening traffic rules awareness among students
One of the biggest strengths of the student auto safety workshop is how it instills awareness of traffic rules. Many young drivers enter the road without fully understanding the legal implications of their behavior—this program changes that. Sessions are conducted on:
-
Sections of the Motor Vehicles Act relevant to students
-
Challan procedures and how traffic fines are processed
-
Proper use of indicators, horns, and mirrors
-
Lane discipline and overtaking rules
-
Right-of-way protocols in crowded urban settings
After completing the workshop, students not only understand the laws—they also begin to respect and follow them actively.
Positive feedback and long-term impact
Students who have participated in the workshop have reported greater confidence and caution while driving. Faculty and parents have praised the initiative, noting better punctuality, discipline, and safety awareness among participants. The student auto safety workshop is now being planned as a recurring annual event, and nearby colleges have shown interest in adopting the same model.
By instilling safe driving habits early, JGSSM College is ensuring that the roads of tomorrow will be safer—not just through better infrastructure, but through better-informed drivers.
