Helping Young People Learn To Drive Safely

Helping Young People Learn To Drive Safely (2004)
The best way to learn to drive is to take professional lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), supported by private practice supervised by a parent or friend. This helps the learner to practise what they are being taught in the professional lessons in a wider range of driving situations. Research shows that the more driving experience learners obtain, the safer they are likely to be when they start to drive on their own. Private practice will also help them to pass the driving test.

This leaflet provides advice about helping learner car drivers during private driving practice.

Young Drivers Advice & Information

Young and novice drivers are more likely to be involved in road accidents than more experienced drivers. They are more likely to be involved in high-speed accidents, accidents in the dark, accidents when overtaking and when negotiating bends. They are also more likely than experienced drivers to be at fault for accidents.
