Driving Instructors and Vision Zero
HOT-Cars, Young Drivers, and Social Media
The full team is back as Terry is joined by Olly Tayler, Kate Monk, Tom Stenson and Dr Liz Box for another wide-ranging discussion on driver training and road safety. The panel explores the HOT CAR model and how instructors can develop thinking drivers with stronger decision-making, risk awareness and self-regulation. They also look at new young-driver casualty data, the role and responsibility of instructors beyond the driving test, and what good driver education should really look like. Finally, the conversation turns to social media: from its potential as a useful learning tool to the risks of poor driving being normalised for views, likes and engagement. Plus, the team discusses new IAM RoadSmart findings, post-test training, rural roads, parents, credible sources and how instructors can use their influence more effectively.
