Want to be a better driver?
Hearing how a victim of a car crash copes with day to day life with an injury is one part of a programme aimed at reducing recidivist young driving offences. The programme is being held in Upper Hutt over two days from 28-29 September.The Upper Hutt City Council have come together in partnership with Orongomai Marae, to deliver a programme called Your Choices, Your Life, which aims to improve young driver’s actions and driving behaviour.
The programme features various elements to spark thoughts on consequences and educate the young participants about risk factors. They will take a journey over two days at Orongomai Marae which begins with a road safety presentation, followed by a trip to a local undertaker.
‘Your choices, your life’ is open to young drivers aged 15 to 25 years old who have offended and received a fine for their driving behaviour. Parents or caregivers can refer their young drivers to the programme as well as Community Probation, and self-referrals are welcome.
