The Government's Road Safety Strategy recently charged the Driving
Standards Agency (DSA) with helping to reduce road casualties through
a greater awareness of hazards.
Specific age groups were targeted in the Strategy with young drivers
cited as being at risk. DSA has produced 'What If?' in order to
stem the rising numbers of accidents on Britains roads.
