The Wheels Workshop began with an overview of the whole scheme so the group to see what lay ahead. The group could look forward to theory and practical driver and rider training. Also shown was a moped that the young people would restore and ride in the further sessions.
The presentations used a great deal of visual media and group participation in engage the young people.
The next two sessions were about road safety and our attitude towards the use of speed. We began driver/rider training in discussing the procedure for traffic lights and pedestrian crossings. The third session prepared the group for the forth coming workshop sessions We discussed tools and health and safety issues.
The workshop phase began by introducing the group to our Yamaha BWS 50 moped that had been donated to the project. This little moped had been unused and parked outside for a year. Our first job was to verify it's identity. We discussed the legalities and responsibilities of owning a motor vehicle.
