People living with a disability that prevents them from getting behind the wheel can burn some rubber at a charity driving event this weekend.
The Moray Skid Car Experience, which is being hosted by the Moray Academy of Transport Training, will take place at Milltown Airfield on Saturday from 10am-4pm.
The event will let people with blindness, partial sight or deafness experience what it is like to drive a car on a race track, while also raising funds for North East Sensory Services (Ness).
A licensed skid car driver will accompany anyone who is taking part.
Ness fundraising assistant Bruce Cruickshank worked as a digger driver before he lost his sight to type one diabetes in 2010.
He said: “For me, not being able to drive was a particularly hard blow when I lost my sight. It was a big adjustment as driving used to be such a big part of my life.
“That’s why I’m really keen to host the skid car day, as it lets people who would not normally be able to drive experience that feeling of freedom when you get behind the wheel.
“It can be quite an emotional experience to get in the car after losing the ability to be able to drive due to sight loss, and that is why this event is so important, as it lets people drive again, but in a safe and controlled environment.”
Other attractions at the event will include a bouncy castle and a bucking bronco and performances by a local line dancing group.
Elgin Fire Brigade will also demonstrate how to cut a person from a vehicle after a road accident.
Meanwhile, petrol heads are being invited to bring along their vintage trucks, cars or tractors on the day to be in with a chance of winning a prize.
Prices on the day for a drive in the skid car will be £15 for people who have a sensory impairment and £25 for non-sensory impaired participants. Places are limited.
Anyone interested in bringing along their vehicle should also register, and entry is £5. To book, e-mail moray@nesensoryservices.org or call 0845 271 2345.
