Young Drivers
The Young Driver Assessment is purely a review of your driving to ensure that you have developed your skills beyond the point of passing the practical driving test. It is the perfect opportunity to discuss any aspects of driving that you are unsure of. To find out more click here
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is launching a groundbreaking survey in a bid to get better insurance deals for young male drivers.
The survey, for drivers aged between 17 and 21, is the brainchild of Rohan Bennett, a young advocate working at RoSPA through the Changemakers Foundation’s Future Leaders programme.
Inspired by the difficulties he faced as a young driver in getting a reasonably-priced insurance deal, 20-year-old Rohan is investigating the motoring experiences of other young men, including the pricing of their car insurance and attitudes to driving.
He is seeking their views through a short survey at www.rospa.com/roadsafety/youngmaledrivers/
He hopes his research, titled Rohan’s Offer Supports Positive Action, will enable them to access fairer insurance deals in the future.
At the beginning of 2009, RoSPA began working with an organisation called Changemakers. Their Future Leaders Programme saw Alysha Ong, a Birmingham University student, working on a project to find out how to attract more young Drivers to RoADAR. She developed a questionnaire aimed at 17 to 24 year olds to research this topic.
This project has now come to a close and Alysha's has produced this Questionnaire Analysis Report which details her findings. This research will be used to support the next Changemaker's project with Rohan Bennett (above) and to approach insurers in a bid to reduce premiums for young people who are committed to developing their driving techniques beyond the learner test.
Although this project is no longer running, 
we are still encouraging people to complete the survey in order to gain more of an insight into what RoADAR can do to attract more young people. If you are aged 17-24 and have not already completed the survey, please do so here.
