A new road safety initiative has been launched to support parents and guardians of novice drivers.
Leading experts in the motoring industry including road safety charity IAM RoadSmart, behavioural scientist Dr Elizabeth Box, the RAC Foundation and the motoring organisation the RAC have collaborated to produce downloadable resources designed to support young drivers throughout the learning process and beyond.
These resources are designed to supplement Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) paid training and support safer driving behaviours beyond the practical test where new drivers are often at high risk of being involved in a collision Parents and guardians are encouraged to work closely with ADIs during the learning process.
Young drivers aged 17-24 remain at high risk of being involved in a serious collision. In 2024, more than a fifth (22%) of those killed in a road traffic collision involved cars being driven by a young car driver. Young male drivers are especially vulnerable with the same age group being four times as likely to be killed or seriously injured compared with all car drivers aged 25 and over.
