RED Takes Road Safety ‘On The Road’
RED Driving School is taking the safe driving message directly to young people nationwide.
Safe driving should be an attitude for all, however government statistics show that
young people between 17 and 24 are far more likely to be involved in accidents than
any other age group on the road. RED Driving School think it is time to take action
and believe they have a responsibility to get involved in helping educate young
people before they even get into the driving seat and out on the road for real.
The RED Driving Simulator
The RED Driving School Simulator is visiting locations throughout the UK giving
17- and 18-year-old pupils the opportunity to get first hand driving experience
within the safety of a simulator. They also hear from RED Driving School's Road
Safety Officer, Andy Milne, about good driver attitudes, the dangers of speeding,
fatigue and the impact of drink and drugs on driving. Andy, who is a former teacher
and advanced driving instructor, also runs through the requirements of the theory
element of the driving test and what is expected of newly-qualified drivers.
Andy comments: “RED Driving School is proud to be helping young people – who are
the most likely to be involved in crashes – to understand the issues involved in
road safety and to avoid the pitfalls. We are also keen for them to understand the
pleasures of safe driving.”
