Did you know that nine people die on UK roads every day, and ten times that number are seriously injured? There are many devastating stories of road accidents and the impact they have, which highlight the importance of road safety.
As a driver, you are in control of a potentially lethal weapon, capable of causing injury or death. In fact, driving is probably the most dangerous thing that many of us do daily, and for most of us the last time we reflected on our driving ability was when we sat our test!
This driver safety awareness course aims to refresh your approach to driving safely.
