Excellence in Road Safety Award winner 2021 - Fundación Educatrafic

Fundacion Educatrafic from Spain designed practical training in the safe use of electric scooters, skateboards and personal mobility vehicles to reduce the high percentage of related accidents. Fundación Educatrafic targets people from the age of 16 and the training takes place in a controlled area to safely simulate an open road environment. Multiple scenarios are experienced using simulation goggles, from alcohol and drug use to balance tests. Talks were developed on emotional education concepts, including emotional intelligence and self-control, empathy and assertiveness, moods and driving – with a focus on ‘what is road safety?’ – traffic rules, the main causes of accidents, responsibility and positive habits. The Aragonese Association of Psychopedagogy, the General Directorate of Traffic and K Driving Schools all participated in the project.
