The Mercedes-Benz First Gear programme is a young, licensed driver initiative open to 17 – 24 year olds*. Participants must hold a probationary or full license.
Our First Gear programme is open to the children (and their friends) of Mercedes-Benz customers. The half-day programme covers vital driving and safety principles that have real world benefits for young, licensed drivers. These include:
• Understanding the vehicle's capabilities
• Recognising risks
• Avoiding dangers
• Handling critical situations
First Gear is intended to inform, educate and provide practical experience for your children. It also addresses the attitudes and behaviours that affect young drivers when they take to the road.
*Parental consent is required for drivers under 18 to participate.
