Caerphilly’s Youth Service hosted a ‘Mega Drive’ event to help inform young people about road safety.
The event was aimed at pre-drivers aged 16 and over in order to educate them on how to be responsible drivers and passengers.
More than 33 young people were offered a 15-minute taster driving lesson and the Fire Service also encouraged youngsters to try their virtual reality goggles to experience being inside a vehicle that had been involved in a road traffic collision.
Caerphilly County Borough Council’s cabinet member for Education and Achievement Cllr. Philippa Marsden said: “It is fantastic to see the Youth Service engaging in an event originally designed to feature in schools. It is vital that these important messages about road safety are shared with our young residents and the drivers of the future.”
