Group wins grant for young driver offer

Published on 16th July 2019

We are thrilled to announce we have been awarded a grant from the Office of the Police, Fire, and Crime Commissioner. Specifically, the grant is for young drivers who are our most vulnerable section of drivers.

In our bid we explained the Advanced driving course is an excellent way of improving driver behaviour and making our roads safer.

Road safety organisations, the Government, and the Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance are constantly trying initiatives aimed at under-26 drivers, as this age group is statistically more likely to be involved in a collision than other groups.

We wish to assist in every possible way by encouraging more under-26 drivers in our area to become advanced drivers. To this end, this grant is enabling us to offer a refund of £100 off the IAM RoadSmart Advanced Driving Course for under-26 drivers who pass their Advanced Driving Test with us.

The £149 cost is often out of the reach of younger drivers, therefore by offering a substantial discount, we will make the Advanced Driving Course affordable and attractive.

If you know a young driver who would like to benefit from this scheme, please contact us on nam_secretary@yahoo.co.uk. or get them to book a free taster drive here.
