Are you the best young driver in Britain?

The Young Driver of the Year Competition was set up after a 21 year-old car driver, who had been involved in a race with a motorcyclist, tragically killed 27-year old driver Catherine Kenyon in 1990.

The competition is now in its 12^th year and is being organised by RoSPA . All 17-24 year-old drivers are invited to register for one of 8 regional heats to be held throughout September and early October. The South West regional heat will be held at the Devon Driver Centre, Exeter. At the heats competitors will complete an on-road assessment with a RoSPA advanced driving assessor and 5 finalists from each heat will be selected to attend the national final at Silverstone on Sunday 17^th October.

Last Year's winner was Craig Shaw, aged 18, from Hereford. Craig's prizes were a trophy, entry and training to race in the Uniroyal Team Challenge at a major UK circuit, £500 CIS car insurance and Green Flag membership.

If you would like more information you can register online from 4^th May 2004 or request leaflets from Lesley Hart, Road Safety Education Officer on (01202) 262065.
