Personal safety and independence
Recognising hazards, understanding risk and planning for situations on the road. Students practise decisions they may increasingly need to make without an adult beside them.
Across core Modules 1–6Road safety education that supports your wider curriculum.
DriverReady helps schools connect road safety with personal safety, health, peer influence and decision-making. Across six weekly core modules, students aged 14 to 17 practise skills they can use as passengers, future drivers and increasingly independent young people.

Understanding how friends and passengers can influence a decision, practising what to say under pressure and planning a safer response.
Core Modules 1, 2, 4 and 6Self-awareness and decision-making
Recognising emotions and impulses, considering consequences and other people, and developing practical strategies for making safer decisions.
Across core Modules 1–6Health and wellbeing
Connecting sleep, fatigue, alcohol and drugs with judgement, attention and decisions made before and during a journey.
Core Modules 5 and 6Transferable learning
Skills students can use beyond the road.
Recognising pressure, managing impulses, speaking up and planning ahead can reinforce your school’s wider work around personal safety, health and wellbeing.
Students are given the facts and explanations, explore practical strategies and rehearse their responses. They build plans they understand and choose for themselves, with teachers helping them reach informed conclusions.
From understanding to a plan
- Recognise pressure
- Manage impulses
- Speak up
- Plan ahead
Plans young people understand and choose for themselves.
A student perspective
Learning that does not stop at the roadside.
“I will put my phone out of the way when driving and I will use the BRAKE tools to support safety in all aspects of my life.”
