SCARD Promise for Qualified Drivers

It’s got to be one of the most worrying times for any parent, relative or friend – your loved one has just passed their driving test and they are about to take the car out on their own for the very first time. You will always be worried for their safety, but you may be more content if they promised you that they would always drive safely, and have proved it by signing an agreement with you.

This is the intention of the SCARD / CADD Safe Driver Contract. It is a certificate to be signed by the driver and witnessed by someone who cares for them, and it contains ten key points to safe driving. By signing the contract, the new driver is promising you that they will always drive safely and within the law. It costs nothing, but it may just give you a little peace of mind when the big day comes.

But it's not only new drivers who can be in danger on the roads. Over 3,000 people are killed on Britain's roads every year, and over 30,000 seriously injured. However long you have been driving, you can help to set your loved-ones' minds at rest by signing the contract yourself. For the peace of mind of all those who care for you we would encourage you to sign the Safe Driver Contract and stick to its simple guidelines whenever you are on the road.

You can download a copy of the Safe Driver Contract certificate by clicking here. Just print it off and ask the new driver to sign it, and then keep it in a safe place.

You will require Adobe Acrobat Reader to use the contract – if you don’t have Acrobat, click here to get a copy.

Using the Safe Driver Contract is free. However, if you would like to make a donation to SCARD, please click here. We rely on donations to enable us to continue our work of making Britain's roads safer. Thank you.
