Driving Experience Days: Think you need to be over 17 to drive a car? Think again! With the Under 17s Driving Experience in Hertfordshire you can get behind the wheel of a dual controlled Mazda MX5, learning the basics of driving and having some fun on a purpose-built track.

The experience is operated by one of the top driving companies in the country, so you're in safe hands during this full day of tutoring. On arrival, the day begins with a registration, the instructor takes you out for a demo lap before you hop straight into the driver's seat to go over clutch control, steering, braking, and general rules of the road. As time goes on and confidence builds, you'll increase your speed and tackle some more challenging manoeuvres like reversing round a corner and parallel parking (if the instructor thinks you can handle it!). The hour session also includes a lot of theory on road safety, so participants can get the ultimate introduction to driving at a young age!

This Hemel Hempstead Junior Driving Experience is great for kids who just can't wait for their licences, or for parents who want that peace of mind when it comes to their children's knowledge and safety on the road. Enjoy!

Bought this Under 17's Driving Experience for my son's 14th birthday, he thoroughly enjoyed it. He'd never sat behind a steering wheel before, but 1hr 30 mins later he was driving, reversing - even trying 3 point turns. Stuart the instructor was excellent and very encouraging, he made my son feel at totally at ease throughout his driving experience. Would definitely recommend this experience for anyone who's looking for something a bit different for their son or daughter.
