Kids offered driving lessons in Trafford to help prevent accidents
10-17 year olds can take a course aimed at giving them a head start.
Driving lessons are being offered to kids as young as 10 in Manchester to try and cut the number of deaths on our roads.
The groundbreaking training course was set up after figures showed one in five newly qualified drivers crash within six months of passing their test.
Around two out of ten newly qualified drivers crash within six months of passing their test, rising to 40 per cent of 17-year old males. Only eight per cent of drivers are aged 17 – 24 and yet they account for roughly 30 per cent of people who are killed in cars every year. Four hundred people are killed in accidents involving young drivers every year in the UK.
Kids aged between 10 and 17 can get behind the wheel at the the Young Driver event at the Trafford Centre next month.
