Timely ahead of the year-end travel season, it builds on the momentum of the 2023 forum while introducing fresh topics and perspectives. Participants can expect practical, expert-backed advice for safer self-drive holidays, including guidance on medical readiness and first-hand travel insights from experienced travellers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">From Japan\u2019s snowy mountain passes to Spain\u2019s high-speed expressways, overseas driving offers adventure but also hidden risks. Fatigue, unfamiliar road rules, language barriers, and different driving cultures can quickly turn a dream holiday into a dangerous experience. Similarly, road safety is crucial around schools, where children are especially vulnerable due to their smaller size, unpredictable behavior, and limited awareness of traffic hazards. Whether you&#8217;re driving in a foreign country or navigating your local school zone, it&#8217;s essential to stay alert and prioritize safety for everyone on the road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">International perspectives will be shared by experts from:<\/p>\n<p>*FIA Foundation \u2013 Global road safety initiatives and advocacy<br \/>\n*Real Autom\u00f3vil Club de Espa\u00f1a (RACE) &amp; International Training Centre for Authorities and Leaders (CIFAL) \u2013 Driving responsibly across borders<br \/>\n*Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) \u2013 Seasonal driving challenges in Japan<br \/>\n*Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) \u2013 Regional safety priorities<br \/>\n*The Royal Automobile Association of Thailand (RAAT) \u2013 Preparing for driving in Thailand<\/p>\n<p>Other programme highlights:<br \/>\n\u2022 Avoiding Disaster behind the wheel \u2013 Distracted &amp; Fatigue Driving<br \/>\n\u2022 Orthopaedic &amp; Medical Advice &#8211; Injury Prevention &amp; Road Trip Readiness for Travellers<br \/>\n\u2022 Panel Discussion \u2013 Cultural differences in road behaviour and how Singaporeans can adapt abroad<br \/>\n\u2022 Networking &amp; Media Access \u2013 Interview opportunities with AAS and international experts<\/p>\n<p>The Overseas Safe Driving Forum is open for registration to AA Members and the general public.
