Organisers of Young Driver Focus have revealed a new format for 2023, as they look to take the well-established event to the next level.
Now in its eighth year, the event will be held at the prestigious Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, London on 10 May 2023.
Jointly organised by FirstCar, Road Safety GB and the RAC Foundation, Young Driver Focus (YDF) brings together road safety professionals from across the UK, in order to share the latest data, research, insights, strategies and ideas around just one topic – young driver road safety.
When the 2023 event was launched in October, it was announced there would be a break from tradition – details of which have now been confirmed.
The event will examine five key areas where evidence shows big reductions in young driver casualties can be made, if levels of adoption and acceptance are increased. These are:
- Wearing a seatbelt
- Choosing telematics insurance
- Driving safer vehicles
- Getting enough sleep
- Extending the learning to drive process
After a short presentation introducing each topic, a panel discussion with industry experts and stakeholders will try to unpick some of the challenges and barriers as well as the opportunities. This will happen with plenty of opportunity for audience interaction.
After lunch, a facilitated session will give delegates the chance to consider how they could influence these areas within their roles.
As a result of the new format, which involves changing the traditional theatre style seating to cabaret style tables, delegate places will be strictly limited to 120 – and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
Delegate registration is now open, with a discounted rate for Road Safety GB members.
