Drive to Survive

The success of the ‘Drive to Survive’ Campaign has gone from strength to strength this year with Myerscough College, BNFL, BAe Systems and Initial Fire and Security joining Training 2000 and putting their employees through their paces on this pioneering course. Young motorists cover a variety of topics aimed at reducing the number of serious accidents and injuries happening on the roads of Lancashire.

Over 1,000 young people have now attended this course which covers safe driving techniques, speed cameras, first aid, driving under the influence of drink or drugs as well as hearing a harrowing account of a young man left brain damaged following a road traffic accident.

The course was introduced after five Training 2000 apprentices were killed in the space of four years. They approached LANPAC to see if there was anything we could do to help their young drivers. The ‘Drive to Survive’ Campaign was launched and since then they have had no fatalities or serious accidents. It is judged to be so successful that it has become part of their Modern Apprentice training programme.
