We Are Committed to Improving the Driving Standards & Reducing Road Fatalities in Kenya as well as other countries in Africa.

There are about 1.17 million deaths in the world that are due to road accidents yearly. 75% of these deaths occur in developing countries although these countries only have 32% of the worlds’ motor vehicles!

The above statistics reflect the fact that many drivers are not receiving a comprehensive driver education and are often lacking in a firm foundation in the fundamentals of driving. Low driver competence levels combined with the increasing number of vehicles on the road plus bad road conditions makes driving in Kenya and other parts of Africa very hazardous.

By offering professionally operated security/defensive driving courses GEPDS is making a large contribution to reducing the increasing number of road fatalities and developing safer and more responsible drivers.

Not only are the above world statistics shocking, but statistics show that over 3,000 people are killed annually on Kenya’s roads. Since 95% of all collisions are avoidable, it suggests that over 2,850 needless deaths occur in one year. This is totally unacceptable to us.

We wanted to make a difference , so GEPDS adopted the slogan Drive to Survive! in order to bring awareness to the country’s growing dilemma. The Drive to Survive! Campaign was designed to reduce the increasing number of road fatalities and develop safer and more responsible drivers. A rigorous marketing campaign at motor shows and trade fairs, along with lectures to company staff, and regular e-mails sent out with driving tips, crime updates and course schedules help the general public more aware of safe driving techniques.
