Think Awareness Driving Course for Transition Year and Secondary Students
The Transition Year Driving Programme offers a structured environment where youngsters can drive in a safe place on private ground under the tutelage of experienced and qualified driving instructors. These instructors have been carefully chosen for their ability to impart knowledge in a calm and stimulating way to teenagers. In other countries where this has become normal practice there is clear evidence that huge benefits are accrued, most importantly, in reducing the numbers killed and injured, but, also improving awareness, a sense of responsibility, driving skills, and confidence among novice drivers. |
The Rosemary Smith TY course has been specifically tailored to teach practical driving skills in a safe environment to students before they reach the age for driving on public roads. This approach has proven to be a very effective way of giving the students an appreciation of the dangers and practicalities of driving. It also gives the student a grasp of the rules that affect them even as pedestrians and cyclists who alarmingly account for almost half of those maimed or seriously injured in road accidents.

The programme consists of a one-day course for a multiple of six students aged around 15 to 18 in groups of 18 to 30. The students need not have had any previous driving experience, or possess a driving licence or have their own insurance as we are comprehensively insured for this unique programme. For schools in the Leinster region the students are taught in extensive facilities at Goffs on the Naas Road. Further afield, the same programme can be provided where suitable private grounds are available. A half-day course may also be an option for some schools. |
