Road awareness education and safety campaigns are crucial to improving safety for all road user groups. Between 2010 and 2017, our campaigns targeted a wider audience of road users, including young drivers.

Since 2017 Departmental spend has been primarily focused on young driver road safety campaigns. In order to have the greatest impact, THINK! Campaign activity focuses on those at greatest risk: male drivers aged 17-24.

To that end, since 2010, the Department has invested £47.9 million into awareness programmes and safety campaigns.
