New Drivers and Riders
Young people aged between 16 - 24 are among the most vulnerable on our roads with over 6,000 being killed or injured on London's roads last year. There are many campaigns and promotions running across the country that aim to provide information and guidance to all road users, with many concentrating on this age group.
Motorcycle Safety
4,234 powered 2 wheelers (motorcyclists or scooters) were killed or seriously injured on London's roads last year. Despite only making up 1% of motor traffic, they account for 21% of all deaths on British roads.'
The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has teamed up with Transport for London and BikeSafe - London to offer Rider Skills Days for motorcyclists, moped and scooter riders. If you live or work in the borough and would like to attend the course free of charge please contact us on the information below.
New Drivers
If you have just passed your first driving test, the New Drivers Act means you’re ‘on probation’ for two years. If you reach six or more penalty points in that time, you’ll lose your licence. Then, you’ll have to apply and pay for a new provisional licence. This means you’ll be a learner driver all over again.
