Prospective future motorists from schools in Ballynahinch and Saintfield marked Road Safety Week with a visit to Bishopscourt Racing Circuit near Ballyhornan where they took part in a Young Drivers’ event.
The idea for this exciting initiative came from local driving instructor Kim Colhoun who along with ten of her colleagues gave the young pupils a chance to learn behind the wheel in the safe environs of Bishopscourt Racing Circuit which has been in existence since the nineties hosting motorcycle and car races over the year.
The day was sponsored by the PSNI and Down PCSP who delivered the event in partnership with the NI Fire and Rescue Service and Rowallane DEA.
Students from the High School Ballynahinch, Saintfield High School and St Colman’s High and Sixth Form College, Ballynahinch with local driving instructors; personnel from the PSNI and NI Fire and Rescue Service and representatives from Rowallane DEA and the PCSP at Bishopscourt Racing Circuit during a Young Drivers’ event.
