The programme was launched through collaboration between road safety organisations and partners across the south east with the aim of reducing road accidents among young drivers by encouraging safer driving attitudes and behaviours. Detective Chief Inspector Justin Thomas, of the Joint Operations Road Policing Unit, said: "Reaching 40,000 young people in our first year shows the appetite for meaningful road safety education. "We’re thrilled to see other areas embracing GoDrive and look forward to supporting even more young drivers in the year ahead." The programme addresses key issues such as distraction, peer pressure and risk-taking, aiming to give young drivers the confidence and knowledge to make safer decisions on the road. The goal is to deliver road safety education that resonates with young people and leads to lasting change.
