Guiding hands behind the wheel

SIX young residents have earned their probationary driver’s licences after completing Maribyrnong Council’s Wheels in the West program.

Over the past year, the program has assisted 35 learner drivers with more than 400 hours of driving practice.

The program, now in its third year, supports people who lack access to a suitable car or a supervising driver.

Wheels in the West is looking for mentors to commit to at least one hour a week. To volunteer, phone 9091 4700.
