DriveFit
DriveFit is a comprehensive road safety intervention designed to equip Year 12 students with the essential knowledge and capabilities for safe driving.
Through engaging, evidence-based lessons, students learn to recognise road hazards, make informed vehicle safety choices, manage distractions, and control fatigue and speed. DriveFit promotes proactive attitudes toward driving, ensuring students are well-prepared as responsible passengers and future drivers.
DriveFit has been developed in two phases:
Developed through the Pre-driver Theatre and Workshop Education Research (PdTWER) project, the original intervention combined a 40-minute film with a 45-minute professionally facilitated workshop. It used discussion, debate and practical activities to help young people understand risks associated with driving.
Funded by The Road Safety Trust, DriveFit 2.0 redesigned the intervention for easier delivery in schools and colleges. Selected film content was combined with three teacher-led lessons covering hazard prediction and driving practice; vehicle safety and distractions; and fatigue and speed.
