Vehicles confiscated by police have been given to Carlisle College to help students learn.
Police dropped off the first of six vehicles to the college for its mechanic and other courses.
The vehicles were seized because they had no insurance or the driver had no licence and were not claimed.
Cumbria Police wanted to find a use for them to help young people.
The project is being funded by the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner David Allen, with Egertons providing support with transportation.
Police will aim to provide six cars every academic term and its Roads Policing Unit officers and vehicle examiners – alongside the commissioner – will visit the college at the start of the new academic year in September to meet the mechanical students who will be working with the vehicles.
Inspector Jack Stabler, of Cumbria Police’s Roads Policing Unit, said: “It’s a great way to ensure these vehicles are put to a positive use, helping young people working towards mechanical qualifications.
“It’s a project we have run in the past and we’re delighted to be able to revive it once more.”
Mr Allen added: “I’m delighted to see these cars which have been driven with no insurance or driver’s licenses being used to positively impact our young people.
“I know how much damage anti-social driving causes to our communities, we’ll make sure that those not following the law will have their vehicles taken off them and used positively or even crushed.
“Driving irresponsibly causes so much harm, you can be assured that I take this incredibly seriously and will do all I can as your Commissioner to ensure all communities feel safe, this is about sending a message to those who break the law: actions have consequences.”
