What Can I Expect

Young driver lessons are the genius solution to end teenage nagging once and for all! We are offering 30 and 60-minute vouchers for youngsters to drive with the country's leading national supplier of young driver training.

This means that from the age of 10, right through to teenagers, young drivers will gain essential, practical driving experience that'll be invaluable once they come of age and begin learning to drive on the public roads for real.

Specially designed to be fully-inclusive for all younger drivers, lessons take place at driving centres where realistic roadways and layouts have been built to simulate actual driving. This way, your son or daughter can experience being in control of a car in real-life situations, but without the worry of additional road users.

All young drivers are accompanied by the best Government-approved, professional driving instructors, trained specifically to work with under 17s. There'll be no lengthy briefing session, it's all about hands-on learning and getting out there in the car on these fab young drivers lessons.

What's so good is that kids learn exactly the same skills as they would in a normal driving lesson at 17 - starting and stopping, pedal control, gears - all as per the Driving Standards Agency curriculum.

Most centres can also accommodate disabled kids and teenagers keen to get driving too, by using specially adapted vehicles that have the addition of hand controls for ease of manoeuvring.

Practice makes perfect as they say, so the emphasis for each young driver on these lessons is to maximise the time spent behind the wheel learning how to safely handle the car, rather than getting bogged down with boring theory tests. It's all about getting out there and giving it a go, learning to handle the car safely and sensibly in a friendly atmosphere.

And kids - regardless of how long you spend on the purpose built route, you will be given your very own Drive Diary to set you off on your journey to getting a driving licence. So when you do get your provisional and start lessons with an instructor, they can see what you've already done and simply build on it.

And parents - these lessons are much-loved thanks to the magic words: "someone else's car". You can bundle your eager, underage offspring into one of the school's cars and watch with pride, as they negotiate the intricacies of driving…safe in the knowledge that their own vehicle is parked, locked and off-limits!

And don't forget, young driver lessons are available at over 70 centres around the UK, so no teenager will have far to go to get behind the wheel. Buy vouchers online now.
