Young Drivers – Help to Improve your Skillset

Cheshire's young drivers invited to skills event

Police and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer, Youth Fed, Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM RoadSmart) and other emergency services will be hosting a free event to help 18-29 year olds develop their driving skills and confidence. Funded by the Commissioner, attendees will take part in interactive sessions with Cheshire Constabulary, Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service (CFRS) and North West Ambulance Service (NWAS). They will also benefit from practical driving sessions led by IAM RoadSmart.

Statistics from CFRS show that in 2021, 26% of incidents on Cheshire's roads that led to death or serious injury involved young people aged 17-25. The aim of the event is to put the fun into driving for young people by boosting their driving skills and confidence.

There will be four sessions throughout the day:

• Think -- led by Cheshire Fire & Rescue
• Drive -- led by Cheshire Constabulary
• Survive -- led by North West Ambulance Service
• Practical -- led by IAM RoadSmart

The event will be held on Saturday 18 November, 9:30am-1pm at Safety Central, Cliff Lane, Lymm, Warrington, WA13 0TE.
Spaces are limited and attendees are asked to register for the event at opccmediadesk@cheshire.police.uk or 01606 364011
