Chance for youngsters to pick up tips

The experience of getting behind the wheel of a car could be a last-minute Christmas gift for a young person in your life.

Pre-Driver Day courses are run by Leicestershire County Council and held throughout the year at Mallory Park race-track near Hinckley. They are designed for 16-25-year-olds, who have not yet started to drive. 

The course offers the opportunity to potential drivers to pick up tips and skills before they begin their formal lessons.

These courses are a fantastic present, not only is it a once-in-a-lifetime experience of driving on a race-track, but it also helps soothe the nerves of first-time drivers.

The course is suitable for all types, from the aspiring young person wanting to get ‘work ready’,  the impatient 16-year-old eager to get the wheel, as well as helping the anxious parent counting down the days to their child’s first driving lesson.

To book a place on a pre-driver day, visit the Tjunction.org.uk website and a spot can be confirmed before Christmas.

The dates so far confirmed for the pre-driver days in 2020 are:

  • 7th April
  • 16th April

  • 30th July
