Warwickshire Police – offering support for new drivers

As part of the Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership, Warwickshire Police are excited to announce a dedicated event for parents and guardians of young drivers who have recently passed their test and are about to navigate independent driving.

Parents and guardians’ influence on their young people’s driving journey and beyond is more powerful than they might think. This free online event explores how they can play a vital role in shaping safe driving habits and reducing risks for young drivers long after they pass their test.

Passing a driving test and independent driving are exciting times, but it’s important to understand young drivers’ risks and challenges. Young drivers are at higher risk due to inexperience, less hazard spotting, and risk-taking, with one in five crashing within a year of passing their test (Source: Brake).

This FREE 60-minute event takes place on 1 October from 6 pm to 7 pm, but spaces are limited.  To secure a place and receive a link to join this event, or for further information, please visit: From Learner to Licensed: Parental Support for New Drivers.
