PACTS has launched Protect Young Drivers, an evidence-based website focused on improving safety for novice drivers. It is designed as a central hub for policymakers, educators, enforcement bodies and the public.
The site provides:
-
- Clear information on the challenges faced by young drivers, including why they are at higher risk in their first years of independent driving.
- Data and research on young driver safety in the UK and other countries.
- Resources for different audiences including police, local authorities, campaigners, driver trainers, parents and young people.
- A toolkit with facts, key messages and visual materials to support effective communication about novice driver safety.
By bringing this information together in one place, Protect Young Drivers aims to support collaboration and raise awareness of this important road safety issue.
PACTS would like to thank Rebecca Morris for her work in preparing this important new resource.
