250 Drivers Graduate From First National Road Safety Initiative

Two hundred and fifty drivers have graduated from the first round of Egypt’s national road safety programme, “Conscious Driver… Safe Road,” which was launched on July 28th 2025 to enhance professional driving standards.

The programme included both theoretical and practical training covering advanced driving techniques, traffic rules and signals, emergency handling, preventive maintenance, minor breakdowns, and behavioural and psychological awareness to strengthen discipline and commitment among drivers. Trainees who completed the course were awarded accredited certificates.

The Ministry of Transport reported strong interest in the initiative, with more than 700 drivers applying. Applicants were grouped according to license category: first, second, and third class, with the first phase dedicated to first-class license holders. Of these, 250 were selected and divided into 10 groups to ensure quality training and proper evaluation.

Graduates will now join transport companies under the ministry, including EGBUS, SuperJet, East Delta Bus Company, West and Middle Delta Bus Company, and Nile Cargo Transport. The initiative reflects ongoing national efforts to improve road safety, particularly in the wake of a deadly Regional Ring Road accident in June that killed 18 young women.
