Building Experience
Do you have the key steps for success? When we begin the journey of obtaining our license it affects all road users, including cyclists, drivers, and pedestrians. We all rely on knowledge and experience to keep us safe on the roads. There have been 27,111 crashes due to lack of experience factors since 2014, and we need all road users to build their experience and confidence in order to stop this growing further.
Check out SADD’s Driver Education Package to spread awareness about building experience in your school and community. This uses best-practice evidence-based road safety education approaches to encourage young kiwis on the driver license journey. It contains a range of activities and resources for you to use, and links closely with drive.govt.nz and the AA Driving School. It also encourages parents to be influencers on the journey, and includes a parent pamphlet to help guide them and you through the process.
