DriveFit was developed by Dr Elizabeth Box, doctoral researcher at Cranfield University and director of research at the RAC Foundation, as part of the Pre-driver Theatre and Workshop Education Research (PdTWER) programme, which ran between September 2019 and March 2023.
DriveFit was initially tested and delivered as a 40-minute film, followed by an online workshop, delivered within two weeks of watching the film.
However, feedback from practitioners, teachers and students suggests that smaller, bite-sized video clips, with engaging interactive learning in-between, would probably improve student engagement and attention levels.
To address this, individual clips from the DriveFit film are now available, alongside the original longer version of the film.
The shorter clips cover the following topics: Learning to drive; hazard prediction; vehicle choice; managing mobile phone use and passengers; managing fatigue; managing speed and avoiding drink and drug impaired driving.
Both the full-length version and the shorter clips are available with and without sub titles.
