DVSA Road Safety Action Plan
Published: 22/07/2019
Today (19 July 2019) the Department for Transport (DFT) has published its road safety action plan.
The plan sets out a number of steps aimed at reducing the number of people killed or injured on our roads. It focuses on 4 main groups; young road users, rural road users, motorcyclists and other vulnerable road users.
What you need to know
As part of the focus to reduce the number of young road users killed or seriously injured, DfT has committed to:
- DVSA launching a campaign to encourage learner drivers to spend more time practising on different roads
- review the national standards to make sure they're up to date
- refresh all learning materials and publish an online driver record
- review guidance on carrying out mock tests for your pupils
- commission further research into graduated licences and a graduated learner scheme
