Learner Drivers and Driver Mentors Wanted!

The West Tamar Learner Drivers Program is a community initiative that provides disadvantaged learner drivers with the opportunity to develop their on-road driving experience.Free driving experience under volunteer supervision is available to local residents who have barriers preventing them from gaining the necessary supervised driving hours to sit a provisional license test.
We are also looking for local volunteers to become mentors to assist novice drivers accrue on-road driving experience.

Please Note:
Mentors will receive training (free) and will NOT have to use their own car, Driver Mentor Tas will be supplying an automatic sedan.
Learners will not be complete novices, they will have to do a lesson with a trained instructor to ascertain if they are ready to go out with the mentors, the program is primarily designed to assist with gaining the hours needed to sit for P plates for low income learners with no or limited access to a vehicle.
This should be a great show for all the family!
