DriverTraining isPoorLeading toHigh levels ofcrashes(Accidents)
Who is to blame?A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.Driver InstructorsLearnersEnforcersRegulatorsPrivate sectorCivil SocietyPoliticiansRoad users
What is correct answerA. Driver Training is letting down Road safetyB. Road safety is letting down Driver Training
Conditions that enable effective driver trainingIssue1.Instructor training2. Driver Instructor certificationReview findingsXX3. Motorcycle training4. Learner driver (Group B) trainingX5. PSV driver training6. HGV training7. Driver testing (All)XX8. Use of Curriculum9. Use of Manuals10. Enforcement of Driving standardsXXX
Further findings1. Learners in many driving schools arrive in drivingschools in no condition to learn2. Many come to driving schools deprived and want tolearn driving for a job to escape poverty.3. There were also concerns about the quality ofteaching, with too many instructors not beingparticularly well trained themselves4. There was also a problem of instructor absenteeismwhich has been linked to instructors reducing costsof instruction or not being regularly paid

In Uganda, there is no formalizedMotorcycle training system Driving schools register low demand formotorcycle training services Most riders are self or peer trained Many are injured or die in the process oflearning Many others die or are injured in trying tooverestimate their performance Self trained riders usually do not appreciatethe learning process

Driver Learning Triangle.
Driver training involves 3 elements:CurriculumLearningTesting
Three major Aspects of any DriverTraining SystemCurriculumCurriculum (generaldescription of aims,learning objectives,demands and educationalprinciples)LearningLearning process (Tools forand results of learning.Tools like Manuals, HighwayCode, instruction, training,self‐studies, understanding,skills, attitudes, driving styleetc.)TestingExamination (Assessmentof educational outcomeand evaluation of thelearning process in relationto demands stated incurriculum).
The objectives for motorcycle curriculum To improve motorcycle riding standards in Uganda To adequately prepare the Motorcyclists to be able toride safely To teach how to practically operate a motorcycle To provide Motorcyclists with riding knowledge To improve competence to Motorcyclists To contribute to sustainable training for Motorcyclistsin the country To provide training methods and framework forMotorcycle manual development

Vulnerability
Vulnerable motorcyclists
Poor weather affects riding
Need for HelmetA helmet is useful in the following ways: Spreads the forces of impact over a greater surface Prevents direct contact between the skull andimpacting object acting as a barrier between the head. Helps in reducing severity from criminalsDangers of non‐use of helmet by riders Severity of crashes Brain damage in case of crashes Dust enters your body Risk of eye diseases Poor visibility in adverse weather
