This Easter teens itching to get behind the wheel are invited to take part in a pre-driver day.
Sixteen and 17-year-olds thinking of learning to drive can sign up for a one day course being held by Leicestershire County Council.
Last year 329 young people took part in the course which covers road safety issues, hazard awareness and the Highway Code; and also offers a practical off-road driving session with a qualified instructor.
These are popular courses that play an important role in preparing and educating young people about safer driving.
These sessions provide teenagers with better understanding and knowledge ahead of their first driving lessons on public roads.
Hundreds of 16 and 17-year-olds have had their first experience of driving using our courses, so I would encourage anyone interested to sign up quickly as spaces are limited.
Person:Peter Osborne, Leicestershire County Council cabinet member for highways and transport
Courses are running on Thursday, 31 March and Monday, April 4 at Mallory Park and cost £35 each.
