The First Gear program is a half day young licensed driver safety initiative and is open to the children and their friends of customers aged 18 to 24 who have purchased their vehicle from an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealership.

The half day program covers vital driving and safety principals that have real-world benefits for young licensed drivers, such as recognizing risks, avoiding dangers and handling critical situations.

The MBDA First Gear program has been developed to inform, educate and provide practical experience for young drivers while also addressing attitudes and behaviours that affect this generation when they take to the road.
