JAKARTA - Observer and Training Director of Safety Defensive Consultant Indonesia (SDCI) Sony Susmana said that drivers must have an emotionally controlled side so as not to harm themselves and those around them.
The incident that befell the electric taxi driver and other road users, who made the vehicle suddenly retreat until it hit a food stall, he said, was a reflection of how important it is to control emotions well in any condition.
"Not only that, he said, drivers who use electric and conventional vehicles with automatic transmissions are important to understand the operational system properly and correctly from the vehicle used.
Not only electric vehicles (Electric Vehicle/EV), according to him, Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles can be like that, as long as the system is automatic.
"In this case, it is clear that the driver failed to understand the correct operational system or was in a hurry to act," said Sony Susmana, quoted by Antara, Saturday, January 17.
Therefore, there are obligations that drivers must comply with in terms of safety. They are not allowed to leave the vehicle while the vehicle is still alive or ensure that the transmission is in the P position and pull the handbrake.
"What is viral on social media is most likely the position of the R gear and is not released to P by the driver. This can happen due to forgetfulness due to emotions or haste in operations. Well, this should be a concern for drivers whose selected gear system is a button/soft touch or rotater model," said Sony Susmana.
With this incident, he continued, it is important for transportation service providers to provide good and correct guidance from experts who have a trusted license, so that this incident will not be repeated later.
