    “This course aims to foster a safe, responsible, and empowered motorcycle riding experience by offering fundamental rider education. With an emphasis on safety procedures as they are exposed to a range of road conditions in a safe and regulated setting, it is designed to enhance the experience for motorcycle riders."

    Under the program, safety instructors will teach the riders proper hand signals, road signs, road markings, and other safety tips through classroom seminars.

    After completing the classroom sessions, the instructors would then lead the class to the actual riding course wherein they have to overcome various obstacles by shifting, accelerating, and braking precisely while keeping up with the tempo of the road condition.

    Tee Ten reiterated that it now has the ACCS (Autohub Car Care Services) that offers safety riding equipment for the riders to check out.
