I read your piece about young driver training (CCW, 14 February) with interest.
I remember going to a young driver training centre, just to the east of Newark in Nottinghamshire around 2002 where young people could learn to drive on a driving circuit, and sit the driving test’s practical/hazard perception section where you have to identify road signs and driving hazards.
I thought it was a good idea and while I appreciate that it might not be possible to do this in all areas a government feasibility study in this area to set up more sites would be a positive move forwards, perhaps even counting as some credit towards gaining a full driving licence.
I had a go, and surprised myself by getting all of the road signs correct, except for two, which were introduced more recently – I must read the Highway Code more often!
It’s somewhat unlikely that the DVSA will change its approach to driving tests any time soon but we’re all in favour of getting youngsters behind the wheel of classics more so that they develop an enthusiasm for them, particularly as the newer car fleet moves more towards electric vehicles –Ed.
Where’s my GTI gone?
My wife bought a new Peugeot 205 GTI in grey with a green carpet interior in 1990 – and I’m trying to find out what happened to it.
She loved the car but had to sell it at 135,000 miles because she needed a lower mileage vehicle for work. She replaced it with a new 206 GTI in 2000.
I am trying to locate the 205, registration H302 SNP,
