Moturoa Rabbit Island will be lit up with flashing lights and echo to the wail of sirens as we host our third annual Young Driver Night.
We’re teaming up with Police, St John and FENZ to give learner drivers a safe, controlled environment to learn how to respond to emergency vehicles and interact with emergency service personnel in on-road simulations.
The aim of the course is to familiarise college-aged drivers with situations such as moving out of the way to allow emergency vehicles to pass, being pulled over by police, or encountering a road safety checkpoint.
The roads of Moturoa Rabbit Island will be the centre of driving activities, where the learners will become confident when faced with flashing lights and sirens.
Starting with a short on-site briefing, police will advise the dos and don’ts of emergency vehicle interactions.
The young drivers will then take their own vehicles, with their supervisors alongside, then head out on a pre-determined course and over the next hour or so will run through various scenarios, encountering emergency services in real-life situations.
Drivers can choose one of four sessions over two nights – Tuesday 26 May and Tuesday 2 June, either 5.00 - 6.30pm or 6.00 - 7.30pm.
