Human error is the
contributing factor to
the majority of Road
Crash Incidents in the region. It includes ac

tions resulting from
the driver’s negligence,
distraction, or physical
challenges, such as loss of control, drunk driv

ing, overtaking, turning,
texting while driving,
and speeding. Reckless driving accounts for eight to nine
in every 10 accidents
in CALABARZON. HPG
CALABARZON believe, the lack of driver’s training contributes to hu

man error. Thus, HPG
Headquarters gradually
resolve this problem through continuous con duct of Executive Motorcycle Riding Course and Safety Motorcycle Riding Course in the entire Nation. For the period,HPG CALABARZON handled trainees at Ibaan, Batangas with 112 participants.
There will be a series
of Executive Motorcycle Riding Course simultaneously conducted nationwide. Road safety is the responsibility of everybody which involved
community and various
stakeholders.
This activity of RHPU 4A shows a tes

tament to the unit’s
commitment being the “Guardian of the Highways” through the leadership of PBGEN ALAN
M NAZARRO, Director
of the Highway Patrol
Group, in line with the thrust of the CPNP strategy of implementing
Road Safety in order
to prevent road crash
and road rage incident.
