direct_line_logoThe Direct Line & Brake Reports on Safe Driving are a series of reports researched and produced by Brake in partnership with leading motor insurer Direct Line.

The reports are based on surveys of UK drivers, revealing their attitudes and behaviour on key road safety topics, and providing an insight into what needs to be done to make our roads safer for everyone. Each report contains survey findings, plus wider research, case studies, advice for drivers, and recommendations for Government.
