Young drivers invited to sign up for free CarKraft road safety event at Silverstone
A free driving experience designed to help young people stay safe on the roads is returning to Silverstone this autumn.
The Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance (NSRA) has announced the return of its annual CarKraft Driving Experience, which will take place at the Porsche Experience Centre on Sunday, October 4.
Now in its 25th year, the award-winning programme offers young people the chance to gain practical driving experience and road safety advice from professional instructors in a safe, controlled environment.
Since launching in 2001, more than 30,000 young people have taken part in the initiative.
The event is open to non-drivers aged 15 and over, who can enjoy their first driving lesson on the Porsche test track alongside road safety workshops covering topics including distractions, drink driving and mobile phone use.
There are also sessions for qualified drivers aged 17 to 30, featuring skid-car training, HGV blind spot awareness and advanced driving techniques to improve hazard perception and decision-making.
Parents and guardians are also invited to attend workshops offering advice on supporting young people as they learn to drive.
Places are free but limited. Anyone wishing to take part can book a place through the CarKraft website.
