Improved road safety is one of Toyota’s global objectives and in South Africa this objective is being emphasised by the No 1 Taxi Driver campaign, initiated and coordinated by brand house and powered by Toyota Ses’fikile.

Now in its fourth year of existence, this year’s campaign drew 700 participating taxi ranks and is currently in the process of determining the local finalists for the competition. Various forms of advertising and promotions were utilised to motivate commuters and taxi drivers to nominate (via sms) a No 1 Driver from the participating ranks.
