President of the Jamaica Gasolene Retailers Association (JGRA) Philip Chong is calling for the use of driving simulators in the nation’s schools to help promote better road safety practices.

Mr. Chong was speaking at the JGRA’s Road Safety Launch at Texaco Trafalgar in Kingston this morning.

He said he believes that the driving simulators in educational institutions will help create a culture of good driving habits among young students, which will eventually continue as they enter adulthood.

He also called on driving schools to help increase the number of licensed motorcycles.
