Each facilitator was experienced in their field providing safer road choices and inspiration to students wanting to take the next step in their journey of their future driving careers. This program was set to run in 2020 for it's 6th year, however due to gathering restrictions outlayed in Alert Level 2, 3 & 4 for Covid19, it has been decided that it will not run in Wairarapa this year.
