Associated partners:

TOP-25, Belgium

The objective of TOP-25 is to help develop national and local road safety volunteer organisations for young drivers around Europe by bringing to them top quality road safety material they would not be financially able to buy themselves or for which buying would be not cost effective. TOP-25 is managed by staff and volunteers of young people, and partner organizations all around EU have major youth involvement.
Within the EU co-funded project ENWA (03/2007 – 10/2010), TOP-25 purchased a driving simulator (defensive driving and courtesy on the road), an Alcokart (drink driving prevention) and Alcovision goggles. Only for 2008-2009 “TOP-25” visited more than 10 European Union Member States, where 71 local actions were organized with a total of 7151 participants. TOP-25 has developed a European-wide network of active youth organizations for disseminating the project results, by its activities all year long, and especially by participating to the European Youth Forum for Road Safety.

Stichting Responsible Young Drivers, the Netherlands

The social goal of the Responsible Young Drivers is to promote road safety in young drivers’ mind, by organizing senitizing actions (in schools, nightclubs, events, …) all year long with young volunteers (17 – 29 yo). RYD has a network of volunteers in the Netherlands to organise prevention activities.
Responsible Young Drivers attempt to reach a large audience and we contribute to the development of a social model, based on responsibility in which young people may identify themselves.
Some of our activities :
- Road Safety Days : the volunteers organise a complete day of activities (Alcokart, Alcovision goggles, somersault-car, …).
- School Module : the volunteers go to several schools in order to train and inform young people about responsible driving. For this, an interactive presentation is used which enables young people to better understand different themes of road safety.
- Participation in  European projects like European Night Without Accident.
