Published 8th Oct 2025

Warwickshire's Road Safety Partnership successfully held their first webinar for young drivers and parents, attracting nearly 200 attendees.

The webinar brought together leading experts and professionals to explore how parents and guardians can positively influence their young person’s driving journey and behaviours towards driving.

Experts shared practical advice such as lowering distractions and risk-taking, limiting in-car disruptions and encouraging open communication between parents and young drivers.

Cllr Jennifer Warren, Warwickshire County Council Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning, said: "Parents and guardians play a vital role in shaping how young people learn to drive safely and responsibly, not just during the learner phase but well beyond.

“This webinar has provided valuable insight and practical advice for families, helping them to better understand the influence they have on their young drivers’ attitudes and behaviours.

"I am delighted that Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership is leading the way in sharing this important knowledge nationally, with the ultimate aim of keeping our roads safer for everyone."
