Drive it Day History
​
National Drive It Day was created by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs in 2005. It is the occasion when historic vehicle enthusiasts and the public at large have the opportunity to celebrate the One Thousand Mile Trial organised in 1900 to prove the viability of the new invention, the motor vehicle. It’s also a chance to raise awareness and support amongst the public for the historic vehicle movement and keeping transport heritage on UK roads.
The many clubs that comprise the Federation's membership then plan and schedule regional and local events throughout the country. The events are as varied as the vehicles taking part and include Drive Outs and meetings at local beauty spots or historic sites.
