Helping new drivers stay safe on the road

Helping new drivers stay safe on the road

With many young people starting driving lessons this Autumn, the Helping New Drivers website from the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership has a range of advice and information for anyone helping someone learn to drive. 

The website offers guides for parents, carers and others, with step-by-step advice to help take the stress out of accompanying learner drivers, and support them to become skilled and competent drivers. 

It covers topics from choosing a driving instructor and private practice, through to driving on rural roads and in challenging weather conditions. 

The website also features a range of downloadable materials on areas to discuss before a young driver takes to the road, including managing speed, avoiding distractions, and the importance of wearing seatbelts.
