The event is expected to cover around 2,130 miles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <b>Book Theory Test Today<\/b> blogger says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The event works like this. At the end of each leg, a driving school vehicle roof display will be passed to the next driver trainer and pupil taking part, until all the legs have been completed.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The relay event commences on Thursday, October 30<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\">, ending in Birmingham on Friday, November 14<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\">, which is this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Children in Need day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <b>Book Theory Test Today<\/b> blogger says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is a great idea, conjured up by Louise Walsh, 41, a driver trainer based close to Lymington in Hampshire. Louise found inspiration to do something for charity thanks to last year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Children in Need television coverage.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One participant in the event, Vicky Holt, 44, a driver trainer for Top Gun Driving School, had this to say: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got more than 2,000 instructors signed up already for the event. There are about six in our convoy, but if any more instructors want to join in, they can.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">She added: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the first year we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done this and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a bit ground-breaking, but, hopefully, it will raise a lot of money, and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do it next year too.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <b>Book Theory Testy Today<\/b> blogger says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re invited! So, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a learner driver in the West Midlands, get in gear (see what we did there) and get involved.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no requirement to hold a <b>theory test<\/b> certificate or a full UK driving licence, but you will be accompanied by your instructor at all times, for safety reasons. However, the experience will not be like a standard driving lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Instructors are encouraged to dress up for the occasion and vehicles can also be decorated, provided visibility is not hindered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Vicky Holt, who will be completing the Tyneside leg of the relay, said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153As well as the relay, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m doing sponsored pyjama lessons and letting people pay to put sponsored spots on my learner car with their names on. I might do the relay dressed in pyjamas, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure yet.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <b>Book Theory Test Today<\/b> blogger says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re interested in taking part, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what to do &#8211; go to www.biglearnerrelay.co.uk or search for \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcBig Learner Relay\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 on Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Book Theory Test<\/b> <b>Today <\/b>offers an intermediary service assisting clients with booking a <b>UK driving theory test<\/b>, or practical test, at test centres across the nation.
