AN ACT
REQUIRING THE TEACHING OF BASIC ROAD SAFETY AND 
COMPREHENSIVE DRIVERS' EDUCATION AS PART OF THE CURRICULUM 
OF THE K-12 PROGRAM, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES 
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The World Health Organization considers road safety as a public health Issue. 
It acknowledges that one of the leading causes of death is road accidents.
To prevent the increasing incidence and prevalence of deaths and injuries, 
property damages, and socio-economic losses caused by road mishaps, this proposed 
measure seeks to include Basic Road Safety and Comprehensive Drivers' Education to 
the curriculum of the K-12 Program. It is alarming to note that a lot of adults today 
have little or no knowledge of basic road safety and traffic rules and regulations. 
Studies show that many road accidents and mishaps resulted from ignorance or false 
understanding of traffic rules and regulations. In today's era of communication and 
transportation, common sense dictates that everyone should have at least a basic 
understanding of this. I regret to admit that this is something that we have 
unfortunately overlooked.
It is high time that we address this deficiency to produce more well-rounded 
individuals as well as increase the safety and efficiency of road traffic. I urge my 
colleagues to see the merits of this proposal and work together with me for the 
immediate passage of this bill.
RAMO^PBONG REVILLA, JR
