Truck Driving Experience 1027481
Overview
Here is your chance to get behind the wheel of a true monster! This DAF Tractor Unit hides 480bhp under its enormous bonnet, which is more than enough to drag the 55ft race car trailer behind it. Your fully qualified HGV instructor will, after a short safety briefing, take you over to the cab and go through all of the controls, offering tips on how best to control the truck. You’ll need to get used to the oversized wheel and incredible 16 gears as you bring the beast to life and negotiate around this purpose made circuit for 10-15 minutes. You’ll be able to bring up to three spectators along with you to take photos, which along with your personalised truck driving certificate, will create memories that won’t be easily forgotten!
