Vision for car make-over project
- To engage from a multi-agency approach in an interactive and informal way with young male drivers who are most at risk of being involved in a fatal or serious road traffic collision.
- To impact upon causation factors associated with fatal and serious road traffic collisions.
- To work with the target group in an interactive and informal way to educate how cars should be modified in a safe and legal manner.
- To encourage motor sport to be kept off-road
- To allow the students to take ownership of the project by providing clear terms of reference at the outset.
- To build into the project educational visits and experiments which would have College, Police and DPP participation
- To add value by using appropriate technology (website, video diary, blog) in order to reach a wider audience
- To further add value by undertaking some of the work in an open forum, which would be open to the public and through marketing would attract a wide audience e.g. other faculty students, jon44w, nicruise, local Rally Clubs, and suppliers of components etc.
The project will be called Limavady Custom Cruisers.
A Nissan Silvia s14 has been secured and the project launched on the 19th April 2007. Full details of the project including weekly updates are available on the specially designed website jon44w.com/LCC
The project is a joint partnership between Limavady District Policing Partnership, Limavady Further Education College and the Police.
