What Can I Expect
Looking for under 17s driving near you? You've come to the right place. We have vouchers for 30 and 60-minute driving lessons for 10 to 16 year olds in York, Surrey, Wigan and Seighford, giving tweens and teens to have their first taste behind the wheel.
We all know what it's like. You're desperate for that sense of freedom that comes with having your driving licence. You dream of getting your first car. You totally ace it on Forza Horizon and Project CARS. So let's see what happens when driving gets real!
All lessons are led by a fully qualified instructor driver and the standard car used for these experiences is a Citroen C1, a funky little hatchback with a bit of French flair!
All cars for the under 17s are dual-controlled, making driving perfectly safe, even if it's the first time you've ever sat in the driver's seat.
Your lesson will cover all the essentials. That's to say from literally how to start the engine and how to get the car moving forward, to cornering and even reversing. Everyone progresses at a different pace, so your drive time will be geared towards you, with the aim of getting you feeling confident and comfortable at the wheel.
The venues for these under 17 driving sessions are really cool. In Seighford (Staffordshire) and Elvington (York) you're at well-established driving centres. In Surrey your host is the Top Gear test track at Dunsfold, whilst in Wigan you're at the Three Sisters race track, with lots of perimeter roads for you to practise on.
As long as you're aged 10-17 and at least 4ft 10" (147cm) tall you can take part in these under 17 driving days in the cool little Citroens. Sign up now for your head start in driving!
