Welcome to our dedicated Brake Page

Brake is a registered charity with two aims:
  1. to prevent death and injury on the roads through education of all road users and campaigning for road safety. Road deaths are no accident; every death has a cause that can be prevented
  2. to care for people bereaved or affected by serious injury in a road crash through support services by our division BrakeCare
    There are many people working for, or with, Brake: staff at our UK head office, hundreds of community volunteers, corporate supporters, and road safety professionals.

Sign up to be a Brake Buddy Driving Instructor today!

Driving instructors can help train safe drivers by signing up to Brake’s Buddy Driving Instructor scheme, helping to promote Brake’s acclaimed 2Young2Die campaign. All Buddy Instructors receive a pack of 2Young2Die driver safety resources from the charity to discuss with, and pass on, to pupils. These packs include:

  • 25 of our acclaimed 2Young2Die guides - hard-hitting, glossy guides to staying alive on the road, specifically written for young drivers
  • Sober Up leaflets - the facts on drink and drugged driving, specifically aimed at young drivers
  • Tyre tread indicator cards - credit-card size card with a tyre tread indicator and Brake’s ‘Pledge to Drive Safely’ tips
  • Overtaking leaflets - a guide on overtaking, specifically written for young drivers by Ideas4ADIs in association with Brake 

All Buddy Instructors also receive a FREE subscription to Brake for one year. This means you receive a fortnightly e-bulletin of our newsletter Target Zero, regular mailings including research reports, posters and leaflets produced by Brake, the Government and other organisations, and discounts to our conferences on road safety.

Everyone who signs up to the scheme is also entitled to a year's half-price subscription to ADI News, courtesy of ADI News.

Plus, sign up before 30 September and be entered into our free prize draw. Anyone who signs up before this date will automatically be entered into the draw to win great prizes for you and your pupils. Prizes include a year's FREE subscription to ADI News, Alcosense portable breathalyers, subscriptions to PassYourTestOnline.co.uk, ADI Lesson Presenter DVDs from Ideas4ADIs and copies of the latest Driving Test Success software from Focus Multimedia.   

All we ask in return is that you ask your next 25 pupils to pay £1 more for one of their driving lessons in return for their resources from Brake - and that you donate £25 to the charity upfront in advance of you collecting these extra £1s (which you keep) to cover the cost of the resources you receive from us. This means the scheme is entirely self-funding for you and you recoup your donation!
