Lithuanian Association of Driver Training and Upgrading Schools was founded in 2001. It groups 106 Driver training schools. The Association co-ordinates the actions of the members, represents and protects the interests of the members. The Association collaborates with government authorities and other institutions who deal with road safety and especially the driving education in Lithuania. The main aim of the Association is to promote a safe behaviour on the roads.

Lithuanian Association of Driver Training and Upgrading Schools will commit to the European Road Safety Charter with the following activities

 

- We will organise various seminars - meetings with government authorities responsible for legislation relating to driver's education - in order to analyse the driver's training and further development of driving skills procedure. The objectives of those meetings will be to suggest new ideas to up-date those processes.

 

- We will seek to install and launch a road safety education material preparation system. We have a big variety of driving education programs and materials. Usually the books are translated from other languages but quite often there is a lack of materials in our native language. We would like to create one textbook in Lithuanian language that could be used in all schools. The Association commits to prepare the educational material and to offer it to the authorities responsible for road safety.
