For 15 year-old George Coppen from Derby, an Olympic Torchbearer on 29th June, it’s been an amazing few weeks and he was one of several hundred young people on 14th July to have their first driving experience, at the Get Going Live! driving day at Donington Park.
The experience for young people with disabilities and anyone newly-disabled was an opportunity to get advice on the best car and adaptations to suit their special needs. As well as a chance to get more information on available schemes, find a suitable instructor and get vital, safety information such as how to position the driving seat and seat belt.
For anyone who missed Saturday’s event there are two more this year – at the Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate on 28th July and TRL, Wokingham on 11th August. To register for these events www.getgoingnow.org
