School’s back: Remember your best driving behaviour

It’s not just our little ones that need to think about their behaviour at the start of the school year

THIS COMPETITION ENDS ON THURSDAY 21 AUGUST 2014 at 12 MIDNIGHT.

Now that the schools are back, Road Safety Scotland (part of Transport Scotland) and The Scottish Government have partnered with Halfords to offer one lucky driver the chance to win £100 worth of vouchers. The competition aims to raise awareness among parents and carers of the influence their driving behaviour can have on their children’s behaviour when they in turn take to the wheel in the future.

Before parents and carers embark on the – often stressful – school run, it is important that Scottish drivers remember their backseat passengers will, one day, become drivers and that they pick up their driving habits from a very young age. The campaign draws on Early Years and Road Safety research which demonstrate that children’s future prospects are greatly influenced from a very young age by their parents’ and carers’ behaviour.

Neale Kinnear, Principal Psychologist in the study of human behaviour and transport at the Transport Research Laboratory said: “Children are always learning from their parents’ behaviour, whether inside or outside of the car. Children not only soak up what is going on in their world, but also try to make sense of it to develop their own behaviour. What they learn as a child will inform their future behaviour and social interactions.

“Research has demonstrated this effect in driving whereby young drivers’ behaviour and crash risk is influenced by their parents’ driving behaviour. Parents, therefore, can protect themselves and their child passengers now, and in the future, by adopting basic safety-related approaches which can improve safety now, and for future generations.”
