Young Drivers
Project summary
This project aims to close a critical gap in road safety education for young road users aged 17–24, by teaching them how to respond safely and effectively in the immediate aftermath of a collision, breakdown, or roadside emergency.
The project will equip participants with practical skills to protect themselves and others at the scene, communicate clearly with emergency services, provide accurate location details, administer basic first aid where possible, and manage emotional responses to avoid panic..
