Are you a driver who would like to develop your road safety awareness when interacting with cyclists on the road?
If yes, then the Transportation Research Group (TRG) is running a research project that might interest you. Funded by the Road Safety Trust and in partnership with Cycling UK, the TRG is offering an online, self-directed, theoretical training course and a practical training session in Southampton, taught by a qualified instructor supplied by Cycling UK. The theoretical and practical sessions are aimed at increasing your knowledge, skills and attitudes when interacting with cyclists on the road.
If you take part in the study you will be asked to complete a short pre-training questionnaire (taking about 10 minutes) and will be sent log-in details to access the course, which you can complete in your own time. Afterwards you will be asked to complete a post-training questionnaire and attend the on-road practical training session here at the University of Southampton, delivered by a qualified training instructor. You will be entered into a raffle to win one of two £50 amazon vouchers.
If enhancing your road safety skills sounds of interest and you are a driver who never or rarely cycles, then please get in touch with the research team by emailing Joy Richardson on [email protected].
(The TRG will also be running a similar course for cyclists in the near future, so watch this space if you are a cyclist who never or rarely drives).
