The Instructor Six 4 Sixty #8: Road Safety Justice League
In this latest Six 4 Sixty, Terry’s joined by a proper Road Safety Justice League — six heavy-hitters from across the sector, for a fast-paced, insight-packed roundtable on what’s really going on in UK road safety right now.
First up: the new UK Road Safety Strategy - what it gets right (targets, Safe System thinking, young driver focus) and what it still dodges (funding, enforcement, GDL, and moving quicker than the world changes). Then the conversation turns to young drivers and brain development: how instructors can bridge the gap with habits, routines, preparation, scenario work, and practical “if/then” planning, without blaming or stereotyping.
They dig into the big one: how driving instructors can make a real difference beyond “pass the test,” including engaging parents and linking in with road safety organisations. There’s also a blunt discussion on instructor quality vs safety outcomes, consistency, and what the UK should steal from other countries (spoiler: GDL keeps coming up).
Plenty of straight-talking, evidence-led challenge, and loads to nick for your next lesson.
