Driving Experience Days: Think you need to be over 17 to drive a car? Think again! With the Under 17's 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 licensing session. 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 session also includes a lot of theory on road safety, so participants can get the ultimate introduction to driving at a young age. After a practice, you'll be tested on your performance of skills and abilities.  If you pass these tests, you will be rewarded with your own Motorsport Academy License, unlocking the next level of driving. You can then progress onto supercars such as Lamborghini’s or Ferrari's, before you even pass your driving test!

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.
