Drive Smart: Your Essential Guide to Safer Driving

Welcome to the #DriveSmart campaign, your go-to resource for practical tips and expert advice on becoming a more confident and safer driver. Whether you’re a seasoned motorist or just starting out on the road, our series of videos and blog posts is here to help you navigate the many challenges of driving.

Every week, we’ll cover a specific driving topic designed to sharpen your skills, boost your awareness, and keep you and others safe on the road. From navigating roundabouts to driving on icy roads, we’ve planned a year-long series of content to ensure there’s something valuable for every driver.


Why “Drive Smart”?

Driving isn’t just about getting from point A to point B; it’s about doing so safely and responsibly. Unfortunately, even the best drivers can face unexpected hazards, whether it’s severe weather, distracted road users, or vehicle issues. The #DriveSmart campaign is here to empower you with knowledge and strategies that make a real difference behind the wheel.

Our mission is simple:

  • Help you improve your driving habits
  • Raise awareness of common road hazards
  • Provide practical advice to handle challenging conditions
  • Encourage safer, more mindful behaviour on the road

What to Expect from the Series

Every video in this series is designed to be short, engaging, and packed with actionable advice. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the topics we’ll cover:

  • Winter Driving Tips: Learn how to handle icy roads, reduce stopping distances, and stay in control during bad weather.
  • Defensive Driving: Anticipate the unexpected and develop skills to avoid potential accidents.
  • Vehicle Maintenance: Keep your car in top condition with essential checks, like the POWDERS method, before setting off.
  • Sharing the Road: Tips for safely navigating around cyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians.
  • Seasonal Driving Advice: From spring rain showers to summer road trips, we’ll guide you through the unique challenges of every season.

How to Get the Most Out of Drive Smart

Each week, we’ll add the latest video to this blog so you can easily follow along and revisit previous topics. The blog will serve as a hub for all our content, and as the series grows, you’ll find links to videos, detailed tips, and additional resources to help you on your journey to safer driving.
