The Driscoll Club is designed to encourage people in road safety with radical, rational and revolutionary ideas for making road safety more efficient and/or more effective. The Driscoll Club is named after Bridget Driscoll, the first fatal pedestrian casualty in the UK, killed by a car back in 1896.
The constitution is:
1. Membership is free and is by application or invitation.
2. Potential members must be (or have recently been) road safety practitioners in engineering, enforcement or ETP.
3. Potential members must demonstrate their eligibility for membership by submitting an idea that meets the following criteria:
a. Its essence can be expressed on one side of A4 paper (plus an optional diagram).
b. It must be radical – in that some element of it must be new or untried.
c. It must be rational – in that it must be practicable, repeatable and amenable to evaluation.
d. It must be revolutionary – in that it must offer the opportunity to make some aspect of road safety service delivery more efficient and/or more effective.
4. Membership will not be anonymous, but it will be made clear that the ideas of members are not necessarily aligned with those of their employers.
To apply for membership of The Driscoll Club email your radical, rational and revolutionary idea to driscollclub@greensafe.org.uk.
As membership and ideas grow, they will be listed on this page.
