Go Drive, an innovative road safety education programme, is set to transform how young drivers learn to stay safe on the Island’s road.
Designed to replace the long-standing ‘Safe Drive Stay Alive’ initiative, Go Drive uses behavioural science to create an engaging 1-hour session, featuring a 50-minute film and 4 interactive tasks.
Created through collaboration between road safety organisations and partners across the South East, Go Drive aims to reduce road accidents among young drivers by fostering safer driving attitudes and behaviour.
Academic research shows those that take part in Go Drive demonstrate significant improvements in the understanding of road risks, including driving while fatigued and the dangers of peer influence.
Go Drive is easy to deliver within schools, colleges, and community groups, making road safety education accessible to a wider audience. The session requires minimal setup and uses interactive discussions to engage students directly.
Superintendent Mark Lewis, Head of the Joint Operations Road Policing Unit for Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary, has said:
“Through collaboration with key safety partners, we’re making road safety more engaging and accessible for young people, ensuring they develop safer driving habits for life.
“Developing these habits is key to preventing harm and ultimately saving lives, creating safer and healthier roads for everyone to use.”
