For Clubs, Groups & ProjectsFor Young People - Momentum
Are you a young person thinking about getting a provisional car or motorcycle license? Did you know that if you are under 25 you have a 1 in 4 chance of having an accident on the road compared to someone over 25 who has a 1 in 10 chance? If you want to make sure that you increase your chances of keeping safe of the road then you need Momentum.
Whether you're thinking of driving a car or riding a motorcycle there is a Momentum Course for you. By taking part in a course you'll find out about vehicle ownership, safe road use and of course get to have a go behind the wheel / handle bars.
First Gear is our course for those thinking of learning to drive a car and On 2 Wheels is our course for those who are interested in riding a motorbike or scooter.
So if you're interested in Momentum why not get in touch with us by phone on 01962 852307 or by emailing us.
