School pupils are getting behind the wheel without actually driving anywhere.

A BSM roadshow, using a 500,000 Vauxhall Corsa simulator, is touring schools in the county. It hits the road at Cokethorpe School, Ducklington, on Monday and then goes on to Burford School, The King's School, Witney; Magdalen College School, Oxford; Northfield School, Oxford; St Helen's and St Katharine's, Abingdon; and Sibford School, near Banbury; throughout the week.

BSM roadshow manager Andy Brown said: "The roadshow gives students the chance to drive in a car in a safe, controlled environment."
