In 2026, 66% of accidents on intercity routes in Kazakhstan were caused by drivers. Among the main factors, inDrive cites speeding, loss of vehicle control, failure to maintain distance, and dangerous maneuvers. Against this backdrop, the service conducted an in-person safety training for more than 100 drivers from across the country, reports infohub.kz.
According to the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 91% of road accidents in Kazakhstan occur due to gross violations of traffic rules. On intercity routes, fatigue and microsleep add to the main risks, causing drivers to gradually lose concentration.
During the training, drivers were reminded about safe speed and distance, phone use while driving, signs of fatigue, and the need to take breaks on long trips. They also discussed situations where it is safer to decline or stop a trip.
Separately, participants discussed conflicts with passengers and personal boundaries. In case of a threat, the app has an SOS button and a 24/7 support service.
The training complements technological safety measures. The company uses more than 30 tools, including monitoring of speeding and signs of fatigue, as well as audio recording of trips to analyze conflict situations. Drivers and cars undergo regular multi-stage checks: documents and maintenance are verified, and photo control is conducted.
Over the past year, inDrive has disabled about 33,000 accounts due to driver or car substitution, as well as the use of right-hand drive cars prohibited from operation. Trips are insured: the life and health of the driver and passengers are covered up to 4 million tenge per trip.
The company notes that the training has become part of ongoing safety efforts and should complement monitoring and incident response technologies.
