The Sussex Safer Roads Partnership has come up with a new way of getting people to belt up! 

I personally think this is a great thought provoking road safety advert which should be shown to all people learning to drive and well as experienced drivers who do not think it will happen to them.  The You Tube film is entitled Embrace Life and you can see it by clicking this link.  http://www.embracethis.co.uk/ 

Well done Sussex Safer Roads

New research on the benefits of young driver education programmes used in Australia reduces the risk of a crash by this group by 44%.

The programme moves to strategies on how to avoid risky situations not just learning about road risks. Australia’s largest study of young drivers the DRIVE involved over 20,000 young drivers. Motor vehicle crashes are the single leading cause of death for young people in Australia, research from

The George Institute assessed the impact of the Reduce Risk Increase Student Knowledge (RRISK).Drivers who attended the RRISK programme had a 44% less chance of being involved in a crash. The programme is aimed at producing safe behaviours, for example managing pressure from peers, planning a safe return from parties and generally making informed decisions about road safety.
