Young driver experience

WHAT TO EXPECT

All junior drivers will start off learning the basic core skills for driving just like normal drivers would and this is all done using our professional instructors and in a safe controlled environment.

Our specially designed course has junctions, roundabouts and parking bays so each youngster is guaranteed a real life experience and have lots of fun at the same time.

This is a perfect opportunity for us to start educating drivers at a young age about safe responsible driving. It also gives them a perfect introduction to driving and helps them to learn the basic skills for when they do turn 17 and go on to take driving lessons in the future.

Safety briefing

All youngsters will receive a safety briefing before hitting the track. This generally takes about 10 minutes.

Slalom course

The slalom course is a skills set exercise where the art of steering will be practiced, it's also lots and lots of fun.

Emergency stop

This exercise is sure to give a buzz and get the adrenalin pumping.

Core skills

Safe driving is about keeping the car under control. Moving off, gear changing and stopping smoothly is a key core skill.

Reversing skills

Not many people are born with a natural skill of reversing so you will be in for a fun and challenging time reversing a car.

Drivers record card

A progress record card of achievement will be given out to all participants.
