Would you let a teenager behind the wheel of your prized Bentley for their first drive? No probably not. But this driver training company does and at several venues nationwide too! Clearly they have every confidence in their instructors who will be leading these junior Bentley drive lessons… A Bentley is the epitome of luxury motoring. It's all about road presence comfort and power and the Bentley Flying Spur that the kids will be driving has all of this. In bucketloads. Under the bonnet of this full-size four-door deluxe saloon is a powerful 6.0l twin turbo engine capable of 0-60 in under five seconds (quite something given the size and weight of this car!) and giving 560bhp. Youngsters will definitely be impressed when they open the huge door and slide into that pristine cream leather seat. Then there's the chrome trimmings shining away and the classic walnut dashboard and inserts. This car just lives and breathes class. It's true they're not the most practical of cars (or the cheapest to run) which might explain why when we do see them on the roads they are probably taking blushing brides to their wedding or cruising with the college kids going to their end of year prom. But of course on this experience teens won't be passengers lounging around in the (very) spacious rear seats. Nope it's the parents in the back (enjoying the reclining massage seats!) and the kids who up front in the driver seat taking the dual-controlled Flying Spur for a spin with an ADI (Advanced Driving Instructor) at their side. As for where the youngsters will be taking 'their' Bentley it's all rather realistic. They will be negotiating a proper public-road style set up with junctions roundabouts and all the other things you have to deal with when driving. Except it's all at a private centre so it's all legal and safe! The instructors on these Bentley first drive sessions tell us that allowing youngsters to drive such a large car is a very worthwhile experience as it teaches them how bigger heavier cars handle in a safe and protected environment. We think teens today are very lucky to have the chance to drive a car like the Flying Spur!

This multi-award winning young driver programme is a scheme by the Street Life driving school to give youngsters not yet old enough for their provisional licence top-notch driving tuition. So if you know a teen who is mega keen to get behind the wheel in a safe environment in Essex this is the perfect choice.Taking place at Colchester Football ground in Essex it means the young 'uns are well away from the public roads and other road users too. And let's face it we bet most Mums and Dad have been hassled at some point by their teenager to let them 'have a go' in their car when in a supermarket car park so this option is much safer.Being a professional driver programme it means there's no pressure on the young drivers there is no family trying to teach (always a source of arguments in our book!) and there is plenty of space all around. So if there are a few stalling moments or heading into a corner a bit too fast it isn't going to mean trouble ahead And of course just as you'd expect all cars used for tutoring young drivers are dual-controlled.And as for the teaching this scheme really is second to none. All instructors occupying that front passenger seat are DVSA (Driving and Vehicles Standards Agency) approved and highly experienced especially with helping children make their very first moves in motoring.So what can the lucky young people expect to learn? Well each participant receives a 20-30 minute educational presentation from the speaker prior to driving. Young people hear from emergency service personnel such as Essex & Kent Fire and Rescue Service Essex Air Ambulance and Essex Police. The school has worked with various agencies to make sure the most important information on safety comes across as well as the actual driver training. This young driver programme gives each driver 45 minutes of driving time behind the wheel at the Colchester stadium venue with a diverse range of cars available. This gives teens time to get to trips with not only car control but also road safety too especially when backed up by that educational chat before the lesson.

Learn the basics of motoring on a BMW Mini first drive! These sessions operate from several different driving circuits around the country and offer kids from the age of 10 years the chance to get behind the wheel early to get a head start in driving. We are offering 30 and 60 minute junior Mini driving lessons for your little ones. Youngsters will get to sit in the driver's seat start the engine move off and drive. Then there's cornering braking and changing gear skills to master too not forgetting the all important part - how to stop the car safely! The kids will also get the chance to try reversing in their Mini. And if you remember the first time you tried that on a driving lesson you'll recall it's not easy. All this takes place in the very safe and controlled environment of a motoring circuit. You might think airfield tracks and race circuits with all those high performance cars whizzing about would be the last place to take a child on their first drive in a little Mini but actually it's ideal. These junior sessions are scheduled apart and mostly use a separate area. There's no other traffic no traffic lights junctions or anything else to distract the mini drivers. And we should mention the cars your children will be driving. The BMW Mini is a proper funky little motor that kids will love to boast was their 'first car'. This driving operator has a rather nifty fleet of Minis including the Mini ONE the Mini Cooper S and even convertibles. So if the sun's shining it's top down first driving fun in the open top Mini. Very cool. Of course there will be an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) in the car at all times and every Mini used is actually dual-control so the safety aspect is very much there. All kids taking part need to be accompanied by a responsible adult whilst on site and spectators can watch the action from the adjacent viewing areas. The BMW Mini first drive school will be coming to a track near you soon. We've got a clutch of former airfield circuits and actual motor racing tracks offering these experiences from Llandow to North Weald just outside the M25. Book your youngster in and watch them with pride as they zoom off in their Mini.
