Learn2Live is a road safety education partnership focused on young people aged 16–19, a group statistically overrepresented in road collisions. The organisation operates through a partnership of emergency services (Fire & Rescue, Police, Ambulance, Air Ambulance) and local councils across Devon and Cornwall. Its mission is to encourage behavioural changes that maximise safety on the roads by helping young people understand specific risks and consequences. They target critical factors in young driver crashes, such as speeding, fatigue, distractions, and lack of seatbelt use, noting that young drivers are 50% more likely to crash in their first year.

The program uses an evidence-based approach, involving an academic year of engagement points, including theatre events, classroom-based crash investigation sessions, and multi-agency safety days. Research from institutions like the University of Exeter and Plymouth University has shown that Learn2Live’s interventions positively change young people’s attitudes and behavioural intentions toward safer driving. The partnership is continually evaluated and aligned with the latest academic research and national best practices for road safety education.

The Motor Schools Association of Great Britain (MSA GB) is one of the longest established national bodies for driver trainers in the world, having started back in 1935 just before the introduction of the driving test, it is the senior association for driver trainers in Britain.

My Learner Driver is an interactive online course designed to reduce the high crash rate among new drivers, with one in five crashing within a year of passing their test. Its primary function is to support parents and family members who supervise private practice. The course provides structured, step-by-step guidance, practical tips, and professional techniques to help companion drivers conduct constructive practice sessions and instil essential safe driving habits in learners, such as better observation and anticipation.

The subscription-based platform also helps families create a “family plan” to manage risk and initiate vital road safety conversations for when the learner passes their test and starts driving unsupervised. By empowering parents and structuring private practice, the program aims to reduce the total number of professional lessons required, ultimately supporting the overall goal of creating safer roads for everyone.

The Ready to Pass? campaign is managed by the UK’s Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), which encourages learner drivers to thoroughly prepare for their driving test and only book it when they are confident they will pass. The campaign provides resources on driving skills, mock tests, managing nerves, and assessing readiness, with the goal of improving pass rates and creating safer, more skilled drivers
