In line with the University updates, we will no longer be actively posting on this account. You can find us on other platforms: Human Factors and Safety Group & Virtuocity.
Since 2009, we’ve used this account to share University updates, highlight research stories, and connect with the Leeds community far and wide.
However, in recent years - like many others - we’ve experienced a huge drop in engagement due to developments on the platform.

It is well known that young novice drivers have a higher risk of being involved in a crash. With @RuthMadigan1, we will work on a tool to improve hazard anticipation skills, thanks to the support of @TheRSTrust.
