Backseat Boss

Introduction to Backseat Boss

AXA’s Fun & Educational Road Safety Initiative for KS1, KS2 & SEN Pupils

What is Backseat Boss?

Backseat BOSS is a new educational initiative from AXA, aimed at improving road safety through schools.

AXA’s research shows that 85% of drivers admit to dangerous driving habits¹, putting themselves and others at risk.

By equipping pupils with the knowledge and confidence to talk about safer driving behaviours at home, we can create a ripple effect that reaches beyond the classroom – encouraging better habits behind the wheel and making our roads safer for everyone.
