About
Not every young person has access to a suitable vehicle, driving lessons or someone who can regularly supervise them.
The planned program will help young people:
Prepare for and obtain their learner permit
Understand Victorian learner-driver requirements
Build safe driving knowledge and confidence
Gain supervised driving experience
Record driving hours correctly
Work towards their probationary licence
CNC will seek sponsorship for a safe and reliable learner vehicle.
Trained volunteer mentors will supervise driving sessions. They will not replace professional driving instructors, and learners may need professional lessons before joining the driving component.
