Over the years the training of drivers’ has been concentrated on traffic regulations, adherence to safety practices, keeping the motor vehicle road worthy to the neglect of soft skills which in indeed is required more than ever to produce highly skilled drivers. If a driver is highly skilled in other areas but lacks the necessary soft skills, he will not be able to interact within people-group and even in corporate organisations. Oftentimes, many individuals, corporate organisations even government institutions have had trouble with drivers not because they are not skilled in driving but are lacking in acceptable attitude, behaviour, good moral conduct, communication, etc. Soft Skill has overarching benefits to all when learnt and put into practice.

RATIONALE FOR THE TRAINING
Soft skills are the binding thread of other skills needed to produce a competent Driver.

Drivers with Soft Skill will possess the capacity to appreciate their physiological and psychological composition; communicate clearly and truly; develop deep sense of responsibility and commitment towards what they do and how they do them. The level of Soft skills of a Driver ultimately determines the quality of a person he is and is not.
