iv) ASEAN Smart Driver
“Smart Driver” has been started as a “Tokyo Smart Driver” campaign from Metropolitan Expressway Company Limited since 2007 under the slogan “Increase your thoughtfulness, reduce the traffic accidents” then it has been expanded to many provinces in Japan and was established as “Japan Smart Driver” in July 2017 organized by NPO. Since the campaign is not to warn but to praise the good driver, this is a very new idea of safety campaign. There are many activities such as praised patrol car or parade to spread the idea of smart driving. Now it is not only in Japan, we, Metropolitan Expressway Co., Ltd., has introduced this to road organizations in Thailand and Indonesia. We aim to expand this campaign to “ASEAN Smart Driver” in the future.
