Under 17s Driving Lessons

Under 17s Driving Lessons are conducted in blocks of approximately 2 hour sessions. We find any longer than two hours is too much for students to take in, although this allows sufficient enough intensity, practice and education for students to pick up the necessary skills much quicker. Each driving lesson is conducted on a one-on-one basis, with one of our qualified driving instructors taking a single student for each session.

Each session begins with a briefing of the skills being practiced by the driving instructor, following our own guides and education material where necessary. Following each briefing students are guided through practicing the skills in the confines of our private off-road facility. Other driving lessons being conducted at the same time within the facility provide the feeling of reality and perception of others in a controlled environment, ensuring lessons are not sterile and detached from the normal requirements of driving on the public highway.

Parking, maneuvering, speed control are all covered in our coned off areas where students are put through the paces of parking and controlling vehicles without the usual "solid" hazards of curbs and other vehicles.
