The Christchurch Community Driver Mentor Programme, run by The Salvation Army, has been in existence for several years.
The programme aims to help inexperienced drivers who face barriers in moving through the Graduated Driver Licence System, including learning difficulties, access to a safe car, or an appropriate mentor to give them the driving practice they need.
