On Monday 7th October, Bloxwich Academy Sixth Form students were invited to take part in the driving safety course for Drive 2 Arrive. During the day, students were educated on the pathway to driving lessons, applying for provisional licenses, booking and taking tests. They were shown how to check for the safety of a car before taking to the road.

Students were then given an opportunity to have a session with a qualified driving instructor to complete a course around the site. To develop their understanding of safety when driving, students were made aware of the laws surrounding mobile phones, speeding and also alcohol and drugs and the consequences they might face or the dangers to others because of this.

The students had a fantastic time and were commended for the attitude and participation during the day. Bloxwich Academy would like to that A*Stars Road Safety and Walsall Council for the opportunity to take part in the event.
