Local learner driver mentor program Top Gear has had another successful year, with 15 learners getting their pro­visional licences. Mentors are crucial to the program, with a call out being made for more volunteers.

Top Gear provides opportuni­ties for people who can’t access a supervisor driver to obtain the compulsory 80 on road hours needed to gain a licence. With close to 30 learners on the wait­ing list, you can help them get on the road by being a super­visor driver. You can volunteer for as little as two hours a week, or more if you have time. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact Darlene at the Bridgewater Community House on 6263 4303.
