Leading Learners is not your traditional defensive driving, classroom lesson or school based environment. We’re a half-day event, offering a practical hands-on learning experience and providing young drivers and their parents/caregivers the opportunity to undertake supervised driving practice. This provides the parent the opportunity to also assess themselves, in order to be a better coach and mentor to their teens.Leading Learners is held at Mike Pero Motorsport Park (Ruapuna) and is taught by a team of qualified driving instructors.It offers sessions that cover the following areas;<ul><li>Driver Distraction</li><li>Emergency Braking &amp; Skid Avoidance</li><li>Road Surfaces</li><li>One-on-One Driving Lesson</li><li>Driving Simulator</li></ul>The learner must have a current New Zealand learner licence that they have held for at least three months, and have had around 40 hours of practical driving practice. We also encourage those holding restricted licences to attend.This is an amazing opportunity to increase your young driver’s skills and knowledge and is offered for only $20. This course is heavily subsidized by the NZ Transport Agency and Selwyn District Council. There are limited spaces available. The young driver must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver for the full session. The parent or caregiver must provide a car to be used by the young driver for the event. The car must be one that the young driver has driven before and has a current registration and warrant of fitness and be roadworthy at the time of the event.
