Module 1 – Pre Drivers (14 - 17 years)

The aim of each of the inputs at this level is to familiarise each student with basic knowledge of driving and road rules, through simple manoeuvring of a vehicle. Also to introduce good driving attitudes and habits.

Since Covid the Under 17’s programme has been under review and remains a potential opportunity going forward but logistically cannot currently be undertaken.

1. Explain good and bad driving behaviour.
2. Discuss and review their experience.
3. Execute one or more simple driving manoeuvres.
4. Show appropriate driver and passenger behaviour.
5. Show an understanding of Highway Code and Hazard perception test requirements.

Module Delivery

The module will be delivered through an initial classroom input and thereafter practical instructor lead demonstration and practice.
