Otodiva.id — Quoting Indonesian Police data for the year 2023, The biggest cause of accidents is the human factor 61% mainly related to the driver's ability and character, followed by infrastructure and environmental factors (30%) and caused by vehicle factors (9%).

At the GIIAS event 2024 at ICE BSD, Banten which ends today, apart from presenting various latest models and attractive promotions, PT Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Sales Indonesia (MMKSI) also held educational sessions given in the Coaching Clinic with Rifat Sungkar.

Apart from being brand ambassador Mitsubishi, Rifat is a former national racer who has rich experience in various international tournaments, Sissy Priscillia's husband is also a Safety Driving ambassador.

Rifat explained how to drive safely and eco-friendly. According to him in driving, Road users cannot differentiate between genders. “But between women and men there are differences in mentality and sensitivity when driving a car. It's based on the driving psychology I learned in the Netherlands in my role as a safety driving ambassador,he explained.

Further he explained, considering that men are often given the responsibility to drive, so that when driving you feel like a leader. “Women are told to drive, not to be leaders, but to be obligated,he stressed.

That's the only difference between men and women in driving vehicles. So overall, drive safely and eco friendly, that both men and women must pay attention to equally.

Rifat said there were three main causes of accidents, namely Road Users, Vehicles and Tracks (road conditions). Agree with police data regarding the biggest causes of accidents, Rifat added, For this reason, drivers must improve their driving skills and awareness.

“Ada 4 reason human-caused accidents: The driver was unable to control the vehicle; The driver lost consciousness; Drivers cannot understand the road and their environment and Drivers cannot understand the movements of other road users,” he said.

So what should be done to reduce the rate of accidents on the road?? This is Rifat's direction, First: FOCUS is driving while conscious, look far ahead and as wide as possible and do not use a cell phone while driving. Second: CONTROLS by maintaining speed, keep a safe distance and obey the signs.

“We also have to understand how eco driving is, The method? By avoiding excessive loads; Check tire pressure using a gauge; Step on the gas pedal slowly; Use the transmission according to road conditions; Use the correct fuel; Step on the gas pedal slowly; Use the transmission according to road conditions; Use appropriate fuel and Avoid unnecessary braking,” explained Rifat.

According to Rifat, Women tend to "eco drive", especially seen from the fact that women maintain their cars more neatly than men. "When it comes to driving, women's weakness compared to men is their sensitivity to speed. Many women can't tell what speed they are at now. I have an aunt, all he does is gas pol, he didn't know what the actual speed was. It turns out he wasn't sensitive to the speed of his car, That's why I stopped half the gas in my workshop,he explained.

It turned out to be natural, he continued, Women's sensitivity to speed means women are safer because they are safer. “Reaction time-nya lama, almost female 5 second, if it's a man 2-3 second,” he said.

Interestingly, Setiawan Jaya, MMKSI Product Planning explains cars under the Mitsubishi brand, has complete safety features. Rifat also added Mitsubishi Xforce and Xpander, for example, understand market market in Indonesia more women, MMKSI presents cars that are as friendly as possible to women, steer lightly, the brakes are light, and lots of drawers.

“Xforce is different from Xpander, safety features are actually the same, it's just that there is a driving mode in Xforce, audio is better in Xforce, This seems to make this car more frequently used alone so it is made more comfortable. This comfort becomes safety. If the car is comfortable and comfortable, the sitting position is correct, the steering wheel will be much better,he explained.

Rifat is also concerned about the high number of accidents experienced by student drivers. "I never stop trying to get to the Ministry of Education so that it can include safe driving in the curriculum,he said. He invited Kifa to raise awareness that roads are not only your own but also shared.

“I'm a racer, the risk is high because of the high speed. But my safety device 5 fold. Others are certainly not like that,"said the man who has a safety driving program goes to school. Rifat also reminded parents of their role in educating their children so that they know their rights and obligations when driving.
