http://www.learn2live.co.uk/index.htm A road safety campaign web site started by Anne Elaine Ravenhill. Anne writes "This campaign evolved through my belief that it is totally unacceptable for someone to walk out of a driving test centre, having passed their test, with little or no professional driver training, and then be immediately allowed to drive on motorways - roads on which they will have received no training whatsoever"
I couldn't agree more and why I recommend all my students take the Pass Plus course. When you visit this site you'll see photographs of motorway collisions and find lots of reasons to support this campaign. When you visit, show your support for road safety by e-mailing the team.
