Both groups are receiving training from:
The Fire service will have a talk to the young men about road traffic collisions and the consequences. The crew will cut up a car showing the difficulties that arise following an accident. The police and Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety will talk about the importance of using seat belts, speed limits and general road safety. The drug awareness officer would explain how dangerous drugs can be, and how drugs have caused numerous accidents. The Capita Road Safety unit will inform the young people about road closures, road safety, maintenance of existing signs and street name plates, road markings and signage such as yellow lines, street furniture, traffic calming measures and street naming and numbering. Tutors from BSM will educate the young men on car maintainance. All training on the Kick Start Safe Driving Project will be delivered in a two hour session on Thursday evenings.
