The Best Young Driver contest is an
annual road safety championship organized by the Federation Internationale de
l'Automobile (FIA) through its affiliate partners such as AA Kenya.
This championship aims to encourage
young, aspiring drivers in Kenya to adopt responsible, safe, and eco-friendly
driving practices while providing them with an opportunity to demonstrate their
skills both locally and internationally in the finals. It also serves as a
platform for Kenyan youth to become role models for their peers and the adults
around them.
Given the current global burden on
road safety, where at least 1.34 million people die annually and another 20 to
50 million sustain injuries, young drivers have an essential role to play in
promoting a positive road safety culture.
The BYD Championship assesses
drivers on their ability to handle both on-road challenges and emergencies.
