Take part in newly-qualified driver research (Driver2020)

How to take part in research that will help to make young drivers safer - you need to be 17 to 24 and have just passed your driving test.

Applies to England, Scotland and Wales

The Department for Transport and Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency are working with the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) to carry out research with people who have recently passed their driving test.

The research is looking at ways of making young drivers safer, more confident and more skilful in their first year of driving.

The project is called Driver2020.

Eligibility

You must:

  • be aged 17 to 24
  • have passed your car driving test in England, Scotland or Wales in the last 4 weeks
  • have your own car or have access to a car (for example, a family member’s car)

What you’ll have to do

You’ll have to fill in online surveys during your first year of driving.

You may also have to do things such as:

  • take part in some free training
  • download an app

You’ll get paid for filling in the surveys. You’ll also be entered into prize draws for free car insurance for a year, a tablet and vouchers.

Leave the research

You can leave the research project at any time.

You’ll still get any rewards for any surveys you’ve filled in up until that point.
