Junior Development Program
Introducing young people to driving and helping them prepare to become better drivers.
The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) and other car clubs like ours are doing their bit to assist young people to gain their very first driving experience and to become better drivers though the CAMS Victorian Junior Development Program.
This program is a community based activity where young people between the ages of 12 and 18 are given the opportunity to acquire skills and develop an understanding of safety, car control and responsible vehicle management. The program works on the premise that letting young drivers develop an ability to cope with a motor car prior to the civil driving licence minimum age makes them safer public road users
“Young people with motor cars will always start their experience by determining the limits of both their ability and their motorcar. To enable this experience to take place in a controlled and safe environment is a responsible thing for any community to do.”
(Garry Grant CAMS’ Victorian State Manager 2004)
This program is also about the personal development of young people. “The CAMS Victorian Junior Development Program also introduces young people to the extended family environment that exists in a CAMS car club. The car club environment offers great opportunities for young people to improve their confidence and develop skills such as networking, teamwork and leadership.”
