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.

The videos on the Helping New Drivers website will guide you through everything you need to know to help your loved one be a skilled, competent driver with a safer car.

There are 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.
