Over the last number of months, all TY students have taken part in a driving workshop, where we learned how to drive a car.
We used drunk glasses to show you why driving when you are drunk can be deadly. The Glasses were VERY disorienting, and we were told to walk in a straight line with them on. This was very difficult.
We learned how the car operates and how to replace a tyre, which will be helpful if we ever go to an off road area.
They showed us how to test drive the car in the basketball court to show us what it’s like to drive a car and how to operate one, which will be helpful for when we are learning to drive.
Lastly, we did some online driving theory tests and learned how to insure a car, which will help us when we get a car.
Thanks to Mr. Weafer for organising and to Irish School of Excellence for running the workshop.
