Newly qualified drivers, learner drivers, their parents and instructors are being invited to a Staffordshire workshop in an effort to raise road safety awareness.
The free to attend initiative is being hosted by the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership and will be discussing issues such as:
- Winter driving
- Tyre safety
- Vehicle modifications
- Driving on rural roads
- Drink driving
- Drug driving
- Mobile phone usage
Speaking on behalf of the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership, Mark Deaville, Cabinet Member for Transport and Highways at Staffordshire County Council said: “Keeping our roads safe is one of our top priorities and our roads continue to be amongst the safest in the country. We know that younger, newly qualified drivers are much more likely to be involved in a collision and we’re putting on this event to help them become safer drivers.
“Being a safe young driver is about more than passing the test. It is about having the experience in different situations and having the right attitude about driving. That includes driving on rural roads, driving at night, driving in poor weather conditions as well as the basics like wearing a seat belt, not drinking, taking drugs or using a mobile phone when driving.”
The initiative follows research that suggests 23% of drivers between the ages of 18 and 24 are involved in an accident within 6 months of them passing their driving test.
