[Financial News] The Korea Transportation Safety Authority (TS) ran hands-on traffic safety programs, including safe-riding instruction and tuning inspections, for 2,000 motorcycle riders and their family members.
TS said on the 6th that it had held the “SUZUKI DAY 2026 × Ride Safe Today, Too, GO” event on the 3rd at the Sangju Transportation Safety Experience Education Center in partnership with a motorcycle manufacturer.
Organized through public-private collaboration, the event was divided into a rider-focused program and a family participation program. Activities included safety theory and hands-on training, on-site tuning inspections and consultations, and the government-wide traffic safety campaign “Ride Safe Today, Too, GO.”
The hands-on training offered programs for different road-riding situations, including straight-line braking, low-speed slalom riding and cornering on motorcycles. Participants were also informed about the requirement for workers newly entering small-parcel delivery services to complete traffic safety training, which takes effect on December 3.
At the tuning inspection booth, staff checked for illegal modifications to lighting equipment, mufflers and other parts. They also offered consultations on which modifications require approval and inspection, the relevant procedures and required documents, and the system for tuning safety-certified parts.
The “Ride Safe Today, Too, GO” promotional area featured traffic safety rule posters and videos. Participants also took part in a pledge to drive safely and a no-accident roulette event.
TS Chairman Jeong Yong-sik said, “TS will continue to expand its public-private collaboration framework and actively work with a wide range of motorcycle manufacturers to promote a culture of motorcycle traffic safety. We will do our utmost to prevent traffic accidents through motorcycle safety education that makes use of TS’s hands-on training infrastructure and a range of safety initiatives.”
