Community driver mentor programme being brought to Rangiora
A driver mentor programme being rolled out in Rangiora aims to break down barriers for unlicensed drivers.
The Community Driver Mentor Programme, which has helped almost 800 drivers since its inception, will soon be available in Rangiora.
Rangiora area coordinator Julia Graham hopes to enlist the help of 20 volunteers mentors in the area. Each volunteer needs to have held a full driver licence for two years and be willing to have a police check.
Mentors also need to attend a workshop, undergo some in-car training, and be available for two drives a week.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
