Young Drivers at Work
 |
RoSPA is running a project designed to get a better understanding of the risks faced, and created, by young (17-24 years) drivers at work, including:
- the views of employers on how well the present system of driver training and testing prepares young people for the sort of driving they do for work
- whether employers would recognise and make use of a 'driving for work qualification' when recruiting or managing young staff who drive as part of their job, and
- if so, what should be included in such a qualification or training programme.
RoSPA has gathered views of organisations that employ young drivers via an online questionnaire on this web page. The questionnaire has now closed, and thank you to all the employers who filled it out.
The results will be published in a report in March 2009. This will be freely available from this web page and will help employers and road safety professionals to better understand the risks for young at-work drivers, give guidance on how those risks can be reduced and what help employers want.
The work will also help to inform the DSA's strategy towards post-test learning for young at-work drivers and Lifelong Driver Development in general.
