Learner Driving Centres
and their instructors are
keen supporters of the road
safety charity Brake whom have
developed the 2Young 2Die national
campaign aimed at making young
inexperienced drivers safer.
Learner Driving Centre Instructors are committed to teaching
young people to drive safely for life. Our commitments go further
than just talk. Many of our instructors have been trained by the Charity
“Brake” to go into schools and youth groups and deliver a workshop titled
the same as the campaign 2Young 2Die.
Who is this for:
This workshop teaches road safety risk assessment and gives young people the tools needed to avoid being part of the accident statistics plaguing our young population. This is a volunteer program and your youth group or school can benefit from receiving our instructors time free of charge to deliver this workshop.
The workshop can be delivered with age appropriate materials and can last anywhere from One hour up to a half day. All presenters on our list are CRB checked and as a minimum are Qualified Approved Driving Instructors by the Driving Standards Agency. Rest assured they are professionals wanting to make a positive difference in your young peoples lives.
When you decide to organise one of these workshops you should inform participants in advance of the subject matter. Any participants who have been seriously affected by a road crash (bereaved or suffered a life-changing injury), may find the workshop emotionally charged and should have the option to withdraw or participate (depending on their emotional state) in a different capacity. For this to happen, you must inform our instructor in advance and they will work with the participant if they choose to attend.
Workshop Topics:
- SPEED
- ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
- BEING FOCUSSED AND ALERT
- IN-CAR USE OF MOBILE PHONES AND IPODS
- HEAD RESTRAINTS
- BELTING UP
- TYRE TREADS AND OTHER BASIC MECHANICS
- UNLICENSED AND UNINSURED DRIVERS
- BEING A RESPONSIBLE PASSENGER
The Facts:
Young drivers are involved in a huge proportion of road casualties, due to a combination of inexperience and a tendency of many young people to take risks. One in eight licence holders in Britain is under 25, yet one in four fatal and serious injury crashes involves a driver in this age group.
Act Now:
Speed, alcohol, drugs, the mobile phone culture, seatbelts and vehicle maintenance are just a few of the many topics covered in the 2Young2Die workshop. Educating young drivers on these topics really does save lives. If you are a teacher or if you run a youth group age 12 to 25 please get involved.
