Wise Drive ?Drive for Life?

Commendation

Driver Education, 2003

Wise Drive 'Drive for Life' is a multi-agency initiative for young people in County Durham and Darlington, which has been developed with the support of BSM, Durham CC, DVLA and others. PC David Nixon leads the partnership of Durham Constabulary, Fire Service, Ambulance Services, McDonalds, (who give lunch time burgers) and Darlington Borough Council.


The schemes aim to provide a multi-agency initiative for young people who are within reach of their first driving licence, to enable them to become safer drivers.


The method of delivery is always "hands on" with the young people taking part in each event throughout the day. David Nixon briefs all the young people at the end of the event and asks them to tale the road safety message back to the school.
