Driving Instructors Division Zero addresses the pressing issue of road safety in the UK, where 1624 individuals lost their lives on the roads in 2023, with a significant portion not wearing seat belts.
Host Terry speaks with Dr. Liz Box from the RAC Foundation about the new graduated driving license proposal, which aims to implement a minimum six-month learning period for new drivers and restrict passengers under the age of 20 for the first six months after passing their test. The discussion highlights the importance of these measures in reducing fatalities and injuries among young drivers, who are statistically at higher risk.
Additionally, Denise Rowe from the HELP Appeal joins the conversation to discuss the critical role of helicopter emergency landing pads in trauma care, emphasizing the need for public support in funding these life-saving installations.
The episode concludes with Olly Tayler offering insights on how driving instructors can leverage real-world scenarios to teach students about vulnerable road users, fostering a culture of safety and awareness on the roads.
