February 19^th, 2021    Fukuyama Transporting Co., LTD (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) conducted the first traffic safety class on trucks in Fukuoka Prefecture for 95 first-year students at Sumiyoshi Junior High School in Fukuoka City on July 15.

Since there have been many bicycle accidents in the school district, the school wanted the students to understand the necessary rules, manners and riding methods to ride bicycles safely, and to raise their awareness of traffic safety. In response to the school's request, we had the students learn about risk prediction in a discussion format using video footage from a drive recorder. The students commented that they wanted to be careful about driving while using the cell phones.

Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013 to promote traffic safety awareness, hosting various traffic safety lectures in Elementary schools across Japan and carrying out educational activities to prevent traffic accidents. Furthermore, a Japanese composition speech contest is being held in oversea to provide opportunities for presenting Japanese language education, experience cultural exchange and spreads awareness of traffic safety.
