Gearing up for a great show
YOUNG people from the age of 11 will be
able to get their first driving experience at this year's Woodvale Transport
Festival at Victoria Park next month. For the first time festival
organisers have arranged for AA franchised driving instructors to run 30 minute
tailor made sessions throughout the 2 days of the event on 20 June and 21 June
2015.
Keith Maidment School of Motoring will be running the sessions for 11 to 16
year olds in new Ford Fiestas, which will be located in a secured area near the
bandstand. Keith says:- "This is a great chance for young people to
get their first driving experience in a safe and controlled environment with
professional AA qualified driving instructors."
Young people do not require a provisional driving licence, but must be aged
between 11 and 16 and above 1.4 metres in height. The 30 minute experience
will include basic driving skills including road safety, clutch control, gear
changing and reversing.
Those completing the session will be awarded a certificate of achievement.
Spaces are limited so pre-booking is advisable with £10 deposit. The 30 minute
slot is £25. Telephone Keith on:- 07747 530116. Some spaces may be available
