First Drive

LANCASHIRE & OXFORDSHIRE VENUE. A great fun way to introduce youngsters to the art of driving, this friendly and relaxed event will help attendees get a head start in car control from age 10 years on. We only use ADI instructors for this activity to ensure that the correct information is imparted right from the start.

What you get: The experience is based on 3 pupils sharing a car and instructor for a two hour fun experience. After an introduction to the rudiments of driving it will be into the car where each child will have 2 sessions driving of around 15 minutes each. The driver is assessed individually and the course is tailored to each individual's requirements. When not driving the children will be watching and learning from the next driver to maximise the learning and hopefully to have a laugh along the way. We aim to get each pupil to be able to pull away smoothly, steer correctly and stop safely, subject to capability drivers will also be shown gear changing, using mirrors, positioning the car and even reversing.

ESSEX. M25/M11.

The training will take place at North Weald Aerodrome and will be on a 3 :1 ratio and will be carried out in a dual controlled vehicle.

First Drive will cover the legal issues involved in driving a motor vehicle whilst under age and the consequences.
