How Families Can Reduce Road Harm with Kate Monk
Manage episode 508501604 series 3526261
James Luckhurst talks with Kate Monk, a driving instructor and trainer from Devon, about her work on My Learner Driver - a resource designed to support safer journeys for young drivers and their families.
Drawing on a decade of experience, Kate explains how recent tragedies in her community have shaped her approach to road safety and inspired a programme that goes beyond teaching test skills. Central to her work is engaging parents, whose driving habits and attitudes strongly influence new drivers. She highlights the importance of building risk awareness, developing anticipatory skills, and encouraging families to create their own safety strategies. The conversation also explores challenges of rural driving, the role of technology and psychology in behaviour change, and the need for wider support from policymakers and road safety professionals.
