Safe habits start before you get behind the wheel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

We\u2019re creating the next generation of safe drivers with our pioneering pre-driver road safety workshop for school students as young as 15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a thought-provoking and fun way for young people to learn life-preserving practical skills with friends before they get behind the wheel, using peer discussion and innovative participative techniques such as live app-based voting to inject energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young driver workshop is facilitated by a DBS-checked facilitator and is available online or as a classroom session and it fits the aims of Vision Zero, the campaign to reduce road deaths and life-threatening injuries to zero by 2040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course includes insight into the\u00a0Fatal Five<\/strong>\u00a0of speed, seatbelts, mobile phone use, drink and drugs, and careless driving. More than 97 per cent of students said they would recommend it to others. Available to schools, higher education establishments, and organisations with young drivers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The idea of the course is to give young people information and knowledge that no-one ever tells you as part of your driving instruction but is vital for staying safe behind the wheel for life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In a relaxed and thought-provoking way, we introduce them to issues such as the potential dangers and other consequences of breaking laws like drink or drug driving, not wearing a seatbelt or using a mobile phone. The workshop delivers long-lasting benefits for young people, families and communities by providing them with the skills for when they start learning to drive and in their first few years of on the road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Very useful experience<\/strong>
The instructor was fun, not at all scary and very informative. I learned quite a lot that I wasn’t aware of particularly the reason for yellow backed signs. It would benefit the nation if all road users had a refresher course every 5 years or so. Taunton race course is an excellent venue with ample parking.<\/p>\nValerie, National Speed Awareness Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

A course for everyone<\/strong>
I must admit I was not looking forward to participating with this but can honestly say it was an enlightening experience. You get to think about your actions and the correct way to deal with issues that may cause you to speed. The tutor was informative and approachable and made the course inclusive.<\/p>\nJane, National Speed Awareness Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Online speed awareness course
<\/strong>Our host, John, was absolutely brilliant. He taught without preaching, spoke without judging, added humour without making it comical, anchored important elements in a way that made them memorable. He gave clear expectations in such a pleasant manner that I didn’t want to let him down. He coached us perfectly and I could have listened to him all day long. I came away inspired by him, so much so that I would like to train on how to deliver these courses.<\/p>\nAdele, National Speed Awareness Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Well worth attending even for experienced drivers
<\/strong>The course tutor was friendly and made the whole experience interesting. The facts about speeding distance and braking distance was a real eye opener. Another fact is that 93% of all traffic accidents are caused by the motorist!! He didn’t take any prisoners and made other attendees aware that they were expected to take part or be deleted from the course. When I was first given the opportunity to either pay a fine or attend the course I was really reluctant especially when the course lasts 2 hours and 45 minutes, however the time passed really quickly and I’m sure everyone took something away from the course. It has made me more aware of how speeding can affect so many lives.<\/p>\nGeoff, National Speed Awareness Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Excellent training course<\/strong><\/strong>
The woman taking the training course was welcoming, friendly and efficient. Everything was explained perfectly and sensibly. She made me feel comfortable in spite of the fact that I had speeded in a 30mph zone on the A303. I felt that I could engage with the training with ease, and it was easy to understand how going just one mile an hour over the limit could make a potential crash much worse.<\/p>\nJane, National Speed Awareness Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
