Rodney local board member and road safety campaigner Geoff Upson join Ryan Bridge to talk about the safety of young people on the road.
Upson says that although road fatality rates are declining, there is more work to do when it comes to educating first-time drivers.
He said that professional driver training alongside more time in the car with Mum and Dad could make all the difference tomake sure teenagers know how to conduct themselves on the road.
Upson also said that education about the car itself is also lacking, with misunderstandings in tire grip capacity leading to more accidents in the rain.
