about ‘helping new drivers’

As a parent, grandparent, sibling, guardian, friend or partner, there are few more nerve-wracking experiences than watching someone you care about start learning to drive. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Helping someone gain more independence and open wider opportunities for employment, relationships and social travel can be a real pleasure - and that’s why we’ve produced this online resource. Using the videos, you’ll find on our home page, we'll guide you through everything you need to know to help your loved one be a skilled, competent driver with a safer car.

We’ve also created resources to help you structure private practise sessions, discuss road safety issues like drink driving or fatigue with new drivers and develop a deeper knowledge about everything from telematics insurance to car safety tech. Before you get stuck into all the great content on this site, we’d like to say that any reference to “parent” or “child” is purely for editorial ease. We know that lots of great advice and support for new drivers comes from other people close to them, so if you are reading this in any capacity other than a parent, please don’t be offended.
