Here are the main themes this time!

Please make sure all passengers wear seat belts and use child seats!

Wearing seat belts in the rear seats is also mandatory. In accordance with the law, all rear seat passengers, including the driver and passenger, must wear seat belts.
Additionally, if you are traveling with a child under the age of 6, you must use a child seat.
Use a safe child car seat that is suitable for your child's size and your car.

Prepare for winter early in case of sudden snowfall!

In winter, even if it's sunny where you start, it may be snowing at your destination or at a passing point.
Please use winter tires such as studless tires and carry tire chains with you.

Turn on your lights early and make good use of your high beams!

Accidents are more likely to occur during rainy weather or at dusk.
Turn on your lights early to let other vehicles know you are there.

NEXCO EAST Group has positioned the period from 2021 to 2025 as "a period to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs and transform toward a new future society", and is making various efforts.
We believe that this year's "Autumn Traffic Safety Campaign" will contribute to SDGs Goal 3 as a business activity that will lead to the reduction of casualties due to traffic fatalities.
