Parents have a valuable role to play in shaping the values, attitudes and driving behaviours of their

children. However, all too often, parents feel ill-equipped to address driving issues and often fall into a

cycle of repeating the bad habits they have picked up over their own driving life.

The aim of the Car and/or Bike courses is to galvanise and refresh parent’s skills together with those of

their children.

Additionally, we have developed an effective introduction to Motor Sport via the the PCA Intro course.

These courses offer a combination of both classroom and 'hands on' practical based sessions on key road

safety themes, giving the group positive information for safe driving for life.

Participants are able to gain valuable driving experience through practical in-vehicle training with

experienced Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) and Motorsport Instructors.

The training takes place off road in a secure environment for all from the age of 14.

Full membership is required to attend a course.

Membership per family (2 adults & all children 21 and under) is £5. A course may be run for groups of

young persons from organisations the membership fee will be £2 each person. All course fees must be paid

to the course provider before the course starts.

Each Member (i.e. under the age of 18) should have a responsible adult with them, (who is preferably, but

not necessarily, a parent), responsible for him/her who will be present at each meeting. This person must

have held a Full Driving Licence for at least three years AND be over the age of 21. Active participation is

needed from all members to run the club, and in particular, to ensure safety at meetings.

The Grades that the U17MC-northwest uses are listed below; they will incorporate assessments to allow the

upgrading of students.

Driving skills for life course by the member & Parent or Guardian. Grade 2 Assessment will require this

safety input.
