Resilience and Youth Road Safety

Abstract

A presentation was given at the recent Australasian Road Safety Conference 2016, introducing young driver road safety issues and the potential role of resilience education as a countermeasure. The session was the Road Safety Educators Workshop, not only held on the first morning of the conference, but with an hour earlier start time than the rest of the program. The workshop was full, with standing room only for most of the morning, reflecting the breadth of interest from a wide range of educators and wider stakeholders.
