\nDSA & SQA honoured in road safety awards<\/strong> <\/p>\n
An innovative road safety qualification developed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) in partnership with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) will today receive a prestigious Prince Michael International Road Safety Award. <\/p>\n
The Safe Road User Award is aimed primarily at 14-16 year olds. It aims to influence young people\u2019s attitudes to road safety and give them a solid grounding in safe road use before they learn to drive. Holders who go on to learn to drive can take a shorter version of the car theory test. The qualification was piloted at Balwearie High School in Kirkcaldy. <\/p>\n
The Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards are presented in recognition of outstanding contributions to improving road safety. <\/p>\n
Announcing the award, HRH Prince Michael GCVO said: \u201cI am delighted to present this award. It is a pioneering and ingenious approach to senior school road safety education.\u201d <\/p>\n
Jill Lewis, DSA\u2019s Director of Driver Education and Learning said: \u201cDSA is delighted to receive this special award for a special qualification. Not only does the Safe Road User qualification increase the students\u2019 knowledge and awareness about using the roads, ultimately it could also save their lives. <\/p>\n
