West Pittwater Rural Fire Brigade
The West Pittwater Rural Fire Brigade will be holding a Community Fire
Safety day on Saturday 21st
July 2012 starting at 11.00 am.
We
will be demonstrating the use of extinguishers in the home and
discussing the safety of chimney fires and fires within the home. There
will also be a spectacular kitchen fire scenario you will want to see,
but not in your kitchen!
We will also have a great deal on buying a fire extinguisher/fire
blanket for your house. (You do have one don’t you?)
We
encourage all residents of the Bays and the Island to attend.
Saturday 21 July 11.00 am at Elvina Station. There will be a BBQ
afterwards.

HELPING
LEARNER DRIVERS BECOME SAFER DRIVERS
Has your child expressed interest in learning to drive or just got
their learner license?
Come
along to a free workshop for parents and supervisors of learner drivers
which will be held by the Roads and Maritime Services and Pittwater
Council at Mona Vale Library on Wednesday 8 August from 6.30pm.
The
course, ‘Helping Learner Drivers Become Safer Drivers’, will offer
parents and supervisors hands-on advice on how to provide the most
effective driving practice for learner drivers.
The Council’s
Road Safety Officer Michelle Carter said licence conditions for learner
drivers meant there was a minimum of one year on ‘L’ plates and 120
hours of supervised driving, including a mandatory 20 hours of
night-time driving.
“A more rigorous driving test has also been introduced, focusing on
hazard perception and driver reactions,” Ms Carter said.
“Parents
and supervisors of novice drivers have a crucial role to play in making
our roads safer, and that is why the RMS has developed a course to
better support them.”
The free course will cover topics such as:
- laws for learner and P-plate drivers
- how to use the Learner Driver Log Book
- how to plan on-road driving sessions
“Parents
and supervisors who have attended this course found it boosted their
confidence, helped them better plan driving sessions and allowed them
to share experiences with other parents and supervisors,” added Ms
Carter.
The workshop will run from 6.30 to 8.30pm. Bookings for
the Helping Learner Drivers Become Safe Drivers course are essential
and can be made by calling Michelle Carter from Pittwater Council on
9970 1196 or by email at michelle_carter@pittwater.nsw.gov.au.
