The Land Transportation Office here on Friday conducted trainings on driving and traffic courtesy lectures to provincial policemen.

Sorsogon Philippine National Police (PNP) provincial director Senior Supt. John Jambora said policemen assigned in each of the 15 local police stations and three district offices tasked as drivers attended the one-day activity that trained them on “defensive driving strategies” to avoid getting involved in traffic accidents.

They were taught how and when to use hazard lights, parking lights and turning signal lights. They were also lectured on the importance of giving way to smaller or larger vehicles and correct vehicle maintenance.

LTO driving lecturer Ricardo Nepomuceno stressed in the training that policemen who are mandated to enforce traffic rules and regulations should also be good followers of road courtesy and driving rules.
