On Monday 20th May, DriveiQ will be speaking at the annual DIA Spring Conference – a day devoted to looking at the challenges of delivering safe young drivers to our roads and developing better solutions to the problems caused by, and facing, newly qualified young motorists. With issues examined including restricted licences, insurance costs and driver behaviour, it will be a great day for DriveiQ to offer a solution and show how technology and training can work together effectively in the fight to stop driving being the biggest accidental killer of young people ages 16-25.

Tying in with Global Road Safety Week, On Thursday 9th May, Hartpury College is hosting 'Drive for Life' , a driver safety day where DriveiQ will be made freely available to every pre-driver and their parents across Gloucestershire. DriveiQ Ambassador and guest speaker for the day Sophie Morgan said 'Through my work with the BBC and DriveiQ I hope to highlight the problems as well as provide an immediate solution in better educating young adults to be safer on the road. I am proud and honoured to be a part of such an important event'.

Sophie Morgan, Ambassador for Drive iQ is on BBC3 next week presenting her documentary ‘Licence to Kill’ which explores why road traffic collisions are the single biggest killer of young people in the UK.
