Road safety for colleges

Young drivers are much more likely to be involved in a crash on the roads, often due to inexperience and a lack of knowledge of the risks. About 1 in 4 deaths on the road are drivers aged 17 to 24. So Hampshire County Council Road Safety Team provides education and training resources to young people to highlight the importance of road safety. They have a team of specialists, including road safety officers, and work in partnership with other organisations including the police, the fire and rescue service, the NHS and other local authorities.

Pass Plus training scheme

The Pass Plus scheme helps new drivers become better drivers. The course consists of six sessions to develop your skills: in-town driving, driving in all weather, countryside and rural road driving, driving at night, driving on dual carriageways and motorway driving.
