Young Driver Lessons
Are your kids or little nieces and nephews chomping at the bit for their first chance of adventure and freedom behind the wheel? Perhaps they play all the latest racing games, or you occasionally find them in the driver’s seat of the family car practicing quick gear changes and left foot braking. With the national driving test getting more and more complex as the years go by, it’s time to start ‘em young and fire them up on all cylinders with our essential collection of young driver lessons to teach them the key driving skills and techniques to prepare for the open road one day!
Under 17 Driving Lessons
If a youngster you know just can’t wait to drive before their 17th birthday, then we have the perfect selection of junior driving experiences to whet their appetite and scratch that craving. Perhaps let them loose in a Mini Cooper at a top UK circuit like Brands Hatch or Oulton Park? Make a day out of it at Mercedes-Benz World at the infamous Brooklands racing circuit, in a brand new Mercedes? Or maybe a junior off-road expedition in a Land Rover across the English countryside is more to their liking? With everything else in between, we have a junior driving experience for all youngsters to get excited about – from little tykes to teenagers.
