On Thursday, 26 February 2026, officers from the North East Road Policing Unit will run another session of the New Driver Early Intervention Scheme.
The hour-long event will take place at 7pm at North Anderson Drive Fire Station.
The educational input is aimed at encouraging safe driving practices amongst new and learner drivers aged between 17 and 25-years old.
A hard-hitting presentation will be delivered during the event to raise awareness and encourage discussion on the consequences of careless and dangerous driving.
Police Constable Scott Walmsley said: “The presentation, which we’ve run since 2022, has been very well received by motorists, especially those new to driving or younger with not too much experience.
“New and young drivers will learn how on to improve their own driving, ensure that their vehicle is roadworthy and get up to speed on the current laws."
“As we continue to expand the delivery of the presentation to reach all areas within the North East, we are keen to reach out to new and young drivers, but all ages are welcome to attend.”
