Driving to a high standard can bring some unexpected rewards as well – comment Bedford Driving Instructors

18 year-old Scott Brooks has become the third and final winner of the Coventry and Warwickshire Young Driver of the Year competition, and has won a Peugeot 107 for his efforts.

As in previous years, the competition has been organised by Warwickshire County Council, Coventry City Council, the Motor Industry Research Association (MIRA) and the Institute of Advanced Motorists, and sponsored by Peugeot, whose UK base is in Coventry. Fifty drivers were short-listed, from hundreds of entrants, and asked to attend a driving day at MIRA’s test facility which involved a theory test, an assessed drive and car control activities.

The top twelve were asked back for a further day of challenges at MIRA, and Scott – who recently passed the IAM’s advanced driving test – was judged to be the winner.

“I’m so pleased I entered the competition,” he said afterwards. “I’ve won a fabulous brand new Peugeot 107, had a lot of fun on the driving days and got some really useful advice and feedback on my driving from the MIRA and IAM instructors. It’s been a great experience.

“I’d recommend all drivers to take some form of further or advanced driver training. I don’t think you are ever too young or too old to learn more and become a safer and better driver.”
