The “Do It Right” programme for adolescents focuses not only on developing skills, but also promotes ‘safety minded’ behaviour by changing false beliefs and unhealthy attitudes. The programme, implemented in Greece by RSI Panos Mylonas, focuses on key risk factors on the road: drink driving, non-seatbelt use, reaction time and stopping distances, and psychological factors affecting driving.
It includes both theoretical and interactive learning approaches, such as role playing, where students learn how to say ‘no’ to unsafe behaviour and peer pressure. Moreover, it includes training in a safe environment using advanced simulator equipment (roll-over car, impact simulator, alcohol goggles, distraction game activity, etc).
“Do It Right” was presented during the 2024 European Traffic Education Seminar.
