Serving the people of Cumbria
Every year thousands of people are killed and injured nationwide when driving for work or leisure.
The majority of these road casualties are due to the behaviour of road users and
these could perhaps have been avoided if those involved had simply:
1. Been more cautious and not taken risks.
2. Been in a fit condition to drive and driven for the conditions.
3. Stayed attentive and were not distracted.
4. Sought further, or had refreshed their driving skills and knowledge.
Serving the people of Cumbria
People of all ages can becomeroad casualties. It does not just happen to others! –distractions such as texting whilst driving can be fatal.
Serving the people of Cumbria
Help keep yourself and your loved ones safe when driving by registering yourself, or them on one of the education and training initiatives provided by the Cumbria Road Safety Partnership. Please refer to the CRSP website for more information.

Provided for Young Drivers
Fact -Young people are the drivers of the future and are often casualties at an early
age due to their lack of experience, skill, maturity, knowledge or simply a poor
attitude to driving.
Passing the driving test
is just the first stage in
learning to drive.
We provide subsidised Pass
Plus + training for young people.
Serving the people of Cumbria
If you are a parent, could we perhaps suggest that you make attendance of the Pass Plus + course a condition of letting them use your car or helping with their insurance?

Provided for Older Drivers
Fact - Older drivers are often involved
in collisions due to the slowing of
their reflexes, the natural reduction
in their senses and when they are
involved in collisions they are less
able to withstand trauma.
We provide Drive Safer For Longer for those
who are older than 65, this refreshes current
driving skills and knowledge and gives friendly
advice.

Provided for Motorcyclists
Fact - Passing the driving test does not provide all the knowledge, skills and
experience needed to stay safe on the roads, this is especially the case for
motorcyclists who are vulnerable due to being on two wheels.
We provide the Police Bike Safe
course on a first come first served
basis.

For Cumbria in 2013
There were 27 fatalities, 212 seriously injured and 1437 slightly injured. -
if you were involved in a road traffic accident….
How long might it take for the emergency services to reach you in some
parts of the large rural County that is Cumbria?
Treatment must be provided within the first “Golden Hour” of being injured -
after that the chance of survival following serious injury drops dramatically.
The Great North Air Ambulance does not want to see YOU!
