Welcome to the RYDA workshop
We hope you enjoy the day and learn new ways of keeping you and
your friends safe.
Throughout the day you will hear, watch and discuss different
aspects of road safety.
The workshop discussions are designed to be all-inclusive. You
will build strategies from your own personal experience. Please
engage with discussions and share your views. We also ask that
you keep an open mind and respect anyone else sharing their views,
even if you don’t agree with them. RYDA workshop sessions are a
safe place for all students to participate and share their experience
without judgement.
This booklet is for you to keep as a record of your
GOALS, PLANS and strategies. Each session has a page or
two where you can write down information and thoughts about
different issues, so you’ll need a pen. We encourage you to use
the booklet during the sessions and share it with classmates
and family. There are also links and resources on our website to
follow-up on everything to do with reducing your road risks.
It’s your life and your choices. You can make a difference
by committing to becoming a lower risk driver or passenger.
remember: The RYDA website is a great source of information.
Check out the student resources section for info, quizzes, games and tests.

The yellow ribbon, as a symbol of road safety, gives us an
opportunity to stand in solidarity with those who have been injured
or killed in road crashes. It’s also a chance to show a commitment
to actively protecting all road users by making safe choices
as drivers and passengers. Finally, it’s a great way of reminding
ourselves to stick with our goals, plans and strategies.

The only way to address fatigue
is by sleeping. Make a choice not
to drive when tired or follow these
guidelines to prevent fatigue:
• get a good night’s sleep
• avoid long drives after work or
school
• take regular breaks – at least
every two hours
• even with breaks, don’t plan to
drive for more than 7-8 hours in
any one day
• share the driving where possible
• avoid driving at night when your
body would naturally want sleep

• Help anyone who’s been hurt and call
an ambulance for serious injuries.
(Don’t move anyone who’s been
injured unless they are in danger)
• Call the police if anyone’s killed or
hurt, or if the other driver fails to stop
or swap details. Also, if the other
driver seems like they might be under
the influence, or there’s considerable
damage to things other than cars. If
cars need towing you may need to

The RYDA road safety education programme equips young people with
the knowledge to stay safe on our roads. The RYDA workshop delivers
six interactive sessions addressing crucial aspects of travelling safely and
supporting government road safety measures.
Students participate in workshops and demonstrations to devise strategies
focussed on:
• key government and policing road safety priority areas - speeding,
alcohol & drugs, fatigue, distraction and wearing seat belts
• the social responsibility aspects of being a driver or passenger
• lowering personal risks by making better decisions
