WELCOME FROM OUR HEADLINE SPONSOR

Gill Starkie

Trustee

GEM Road Safety Charity

On behalf of the entire GEM Motoring Assist team, I am pleased to welcome you to Young Driver Focus 2026.

For us, this event has become a true highlight in the calendar, providing a valuable forum for learning, discussion and sharing in such a wonderful venue. I know we will all make the most of the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas, and I am delighted that GEM is once again the proud headline sponsor.

The Government’s Road Safety Strategy rightly identifies young drivers as one of the highest-risk groups on our roads. It sets out ambitious priorities for improving outcomes, but we know that real progress depends on turning that ambition into practical, evidence-led action. We must maintain momentum to ensure young and novice drivers are properly supported and

protected as they develop the skills and attitudes that will keep them, and others safe. I am sure this will be central to today’s discussions.

As both a motoring and road safety organisation, GEM continues to work with trusted partners to promote safer driving for everyone. Since its founding in 1985, the GEM Road Safety Charity has supported a wide range of projects. Our latest funding awards include support for South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue’s innovative young driver engagement programme, and for the Older Drivers Forum, whose work promotes continued mobility and safety for drivers of all ages.

Thank you for joining us. We hope you have a valuable and enjoyable day, and please do enjoy your complimentary copy of Good Motoring, GEM’s quarterly magazine.

This event has always been about sharing ideas, experiences and research, and finding opportunities to collaborate as we work towards zero road deaths and serious injuries.

Today, there’s one focus: making journeys safer for one of the most at-risk groups on our roads — young drivers and their passengers.

This year’s programme brings together voices from government, academia, policing, industry and

the young driver community itself. It’s a broad mix, and I hope you’ll leave energised by the range of perspectives on show.

A huge thank you to our headline sponsor, GEM Motoring Assist, whose continued commitment to safer roads helps make this possible.

And if you joined us at last night’s networking event, kindly supported by our Silver sponsor, Westcotec, I hope you had a great evening.

There’s brilliant work happening across the country. Today is about learning from each other and working together towards Vision Zero.

Have a fantastic, productive day.

What is the ICE Hub?

The Immersive Community Education (ICE) Hub is a platform for sharing virtual reality experiences and 360 film for the benefit of road and community safety. Founded by FirstCar and Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service following their production of the very first road safety VR film in 2015, the ICE Hub has now grown to contain almost two dozen films with a combined total production value of over £750,000.

Virtual reality lends itself perfectly to many safety awareness and education messages, by immersing viewers in a lifelike environment and presenting hazards,

risks and insight that would be too costly, impractical or dangerous to engineer in a live setting. Not only is VR a great media to get messages across, because the technology is relatively new, people are keen to engage with it and enjoy participating using either a headset or handheld device.

ICE Hub members have perpetual access to the whole library of film as it grows. To obtain membership you can either work with us to produce a VR film and contribute it to the Hub or make a financial contribution towards the cost of an existing VR production.

Over 50 members, including:

Mature driver education

Working alongside the Older Driver Forum, this collaboratively funded film was designed to provide members with an intervention for mature drivers. Focusing on issues such as reduced physical mobility, impaired vision, hazard perception and the ability to judge speed, virtual reality provided the perfect medium to prompt discussion. Independent evaluation has since shown statistically significant results against all the objectives, proving that VR shouldn’t just be considered a medium for the young.

Cycling UK Too Close for Comfort

This short film was produced for cyclists and drivers, to demonstrate both unsafe and safe overtaking manoeuvres. Shot from a combination of cyclist and driver perspectives, we can feel the vulnerability of the cyclist and understand from the in-car view, what a safe overtake looks like. This film carries the theme of sharing the road and is narrated with actionable tips by both the driver and cyclist. It is non-preachy and to the point.

Session description

Tyre safety remains one of the most overlooked aspects of driver education, despite its critical role in keeping young drivers safe. In this session, Emma shares new research into the risks young drivers face, highlighting how poor tyre maintenance contributes to preventable incidents, breakdowns and penalties. Drawing on TyreSafe’s

latest campaign and real-world data, she makes the case for stronger education and engagement. Through partnerships with instructors, parents, colleges and digital campaigns, the session explores how we can better reach this at-risk group and promote the ACT message — Air pressure, Condition and Tread.

Key take-outs:

Why tyre safety is a hidden risk for young drivers. The legal and licence consequences of poor tyre maintenance. New evidence highlighting knowledge gaps and risk. How education partnerships can embed lasting safety habits. Using ACT as a simple, practical safety tool.

Driving culture from day one: How employers shape young drivers’ futures

Driving for Better Business

Biography

Simon has championed workrelated road safety for 20 years, including the last decade as Engagement Manager for National Highways’ Driving for Better Business programme. He is a Trustee of ARRM, involved with Project EDWARD and a judge for the Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards.

Session description

Young drivers are often viewed simply as learners, but employers play a vital role in shaping behaviour, particularly among apprentices and graduates. Simon will share how employers in the Driving for Better Business community have identified

increased risks for young drivers at work and developed training to improve attitudes to road risk. He will also unveil a new resource to help employers support young and novice drivers, with practical steps to build safer habits and a stronger road safety culture.

Key take-outs:

Why inexperience and work pressures amplify risk. Employers’ legal duty to protect young drivers. How workplace culture can influence driving behaviours. Why traditional fleet training needs adapting for younger drivers. How engaging young staff improves safety, trust and compliance.

Jill Weekley

what works to reduce risk. While voluntary engagement limited collision impact, two interventions showed promise and offer valuable lessons for future policy.

Key take-outs:

Why young novice drivers remain a high-risk group. Why voluntary measures alone are unlikely to be enough. How training and technology can support stronger licensing measures. What Driver2020 revealed about risk, engagement and COVID impacts.

Why Graduated Licensing remains the strongest evidence-based approach.
