Locauto on Tour

LOCAUTO ON TOUR (2nd edition): on the road to safe driving

4 road safety education talks with Locauto

We renew our commitment to promoting safe, aware and sustainable mobility throughout Italy with the second edition of “Locauto On tour.” After the success of the first tour, the journey continues to meet students, institutions and citizens in the cities where we are present with a number of rental offices, with the aim of spreading a culture of road safety and raising awareness in particular among the younger generations about the risks related to improper driving behavior.

Yougov Search for Locauto

As part of the Locauto on tour project, a second survey was conducted in collaboration with YouGov on a national sample of 1,000 adult respondents (+18) which showed that:

  • 71% of Italian drivers say they need to brush up on some road rules
  • 14% of drivers take drugs before driving
  • 32% of drivers take alcoholic beverages before driving
  • 46% of drivers admit to using their cell phones even while the vehicle is in motion
  • 15% of drivers do not routinely use seat belts
  • 59% of drivers would not contact authorities in the event of a traffic accident even if necessary
  • 23% of drivers have no idea about the penalties in the New Highway Code in reference to alcohol and drugs
  • 23% get distracted when driving
  • 35% of drivers do not know the limits that new drivers must adhere to (engine capacity, limits, blood alcohol content)
  • 46% of drivers have not assisted or would not assist those involved in a traffic accident if they witnessed it

Education, awareness and responsibility

The results of the research confirm how crucial it is to invest in road safety education, particularly among young people and new drivers.
Through projects such as Locauto On tour, we are committed to:

  • Promote safe and responsible driving;
  • Involve local institutions, experts and law enforcement;
  • Spread a deep knowledge of the Highway Code;
  • Raise awareness of sustainability and social responsibility issues.

With initiatives like Locauto Young, we want to continue to be a reference point for younger people, offering not only tailored mobility services, but also training and support for a new generation of conscious drivers.

Locauto On tour appointments

During the meetings, experts in the field, representatives of institutions and law enforcement will talk with students about the risks of alcohol and drug abuse and driving distractions.

The goal is to encourage direct and constructive discussion, promoting awareness and responsibility behind the wheel. This year the project is enriched by the collaboration with Skuola.net and A.I.V.I.S.Associazione Italiana Vittime e Infortuni della Strada (Italian Association of Road Victims and Injuries), which will bring direct testimonies to make the reflection on the importance of prevention even more concrete.

In its first edition, Locauto On tour stopped in 2024 in Lecce, Parma, Frosinone and Ancona, with free meetings aimed at students and citizens.
