Explore Youthsafe’s programs aimed at preventing unintentional injuries among young people in different settings, including at work, on the road and more

As young people grow they want to be more independent and start exploring the world around them—including roads. This is why parents, teachers, instructors, and other adult influencers should play their part in talking about road safety with young people and promoting young driver safety with the right skills and tools needed to navigate roads safely and responsibly.

From mobile phone use to other distractions, youth today face a much tougher road ahead when it comes to responsible driving, putting them in situations that compromise their safety and the safety of those around them.

Effective ways for teaching road safety for youth

Here are a few ways you can become a part of promoting road safety for young drivers:

Customised approach for age groups

Road safety education should accommodate the different learning styles to fit the specific needs of each youth demographic. For young adolescents, interactive activities and visual aids can prove to be more effective, while older teens have a better chance of succeeding with advanced driving simulations or even discussions on risk management.

Involve law enforcement and emergency services

Collaborating with law enforcement and emergency services personnel can give your road safety education programs more credibility and impact. Inviting them to share their experiences and perspectives to help youth understand the gravity of road safety issues and the importance of following road rules can have a bigger impact on young drivers.
