Dozens of young people are killed or injured on rural roads every single week.
A campaign has been launched aimed at reducing the number of young male drivers killed on rural roads.
Three out of five crashes in which young male car drivers die or suffer a serious injury, happen on rural roads. “We’re highlighting the dangers of relaxed driving attitudes on rural roads so that everyone recognises that pushing the speed limit is just not worth it.” Dr Gemma Briggs, professor of applied cognitive psychology at the Open University, said most drivers consider themselves to have “better than average” skills behind the wheel so can “handle a bit of extra speed”, but young people have the “added problem of a lack of driving experience”.
