This occasion gave the attendees a chance to understand more about the true potential of the cars and the comprehensive protection offered by the advanced safety technologies. In one of the special courses, VIPs were asked to do a back-to-back test on the effectiveness of the ESC (Electronic Stability Control). With the help of French innovation EASDRIFT, low grip road condition (wet, snow, sand) is easily created, so that drivers could experience how ESC works to save them from critical driving situations under a safe and controlled circumstance.

This is the first time that Mercedes Benz Driving Academy uses EASYDRIFT in its training event and they are impressed by the performance. Peter Hackett, the Australia-based Chief Instructor of Mercedes Benz Driving Academy, said, “ The EASYDRIFT is a very good driver training tool. It is handy and easy to install, can realistically simulate various kinds of skids. This makes the training more effective and brings more fun. I would prefer to use it in all the driving events of our area (South East Asia and Pacific region).”

As the sole agent of EASYDRIFT in Asia, Saferoads Driving Safety Education Company was pleased to be part of the event, Kelvin So, the founder of Saferoads, said, “It takes time for the market to know the product’s advantage, once they know it, they will be impressed by its performance. This is the third year since we brought the innovation to Asia, we are happy seeing more and more positive feedback from the clients.”
