Students take the wheel

5:59pm Thursday 13th June 2013

A GROUP of year 10 students were put in the driving seat by leading tyre manufacturer Goodyear as they became the first in Gloucestershire to be shown the importance of road safety in a scheme known as the Driving Academy. Motoring expert Quentin Willson joined Goodyear to bring the ground-breaking initiative to Bredon School in Tewkesbury. Around 30 youngsters got behind the wheel of the car as part of the national academy, which also gives pupils the chance to learn elements of The Highway Code before putting their knowledge to the test in an interactive driving experience.  Mr Willson said: “The Government simply isn’t doing enough to improve road safety among young people, that’s why I’ve been campaigning for early driving training to be introduced into schools as it equips pupils with the necessary life skills, so we can start to reduce the number of road accidents involving young people.
