'Together on the learning to drive journey' recording
Turning 17 often means thinking about learning to drive, a milestone that brings excitement, independence, and sometimes anxiety.
Schools, colleges and youth centres can help build resilience across young people on this journey by sharing resources, webinars, tips and advice so young people, parents and carers are more likely to make safe, informed choices as this driving journey starts.
Norfolk County Council's Road Safety Team would like to share a recording of a webinar designed to support parents and carers, learner drivers, and educators about the learning to drive experience.
