IMPORTANT NOTICE

Due to the current situation concerning Covid-19 and the Lockdowns imposed, we have made the decision that the YOUNG DRIVER SCHEME will not be restarting again until 21st March 2021 if all restrictions have been lifted.An updated message will be on the website nearer the time when a definite date is set.
If you have already paid for lesson in advance you will be contacted in due course, to either arrange a refund or to move payment to 21st March 2021.
I will still take bookings for when we restart and can send confirmation packs for upcoming birthdays and/or Christmas presents, please apply as usual and put a note to request that, the letter will say 'date and time to be arranged'.
Thank you for your patience and continued support during these difficult times, stay safe and well.
Regards Nicola Hyland and the Young Driver team.
Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year to you all.
Do you know anyone who is under the age of 17 years and who would like to start driving lessons? We provide 15 and 16 year olds with professional tuition from DSA Approved Driving Instructors in dual control cars to help them develop car handling skills on a network of private roads.
- Priority will be given to 16 year olds, but places will be allocated to 15 year olds if vacancies permit.
- We can now offer lessons to pupils 14 years of age if space permits.
We can offer manual or auto lessons to 14 year olds
either one off or monthly if space permits.
- Lessons are arranged on the 3rd Sunday of each month on private land at Earls Colne Business Park, Earls Colne, Essex CO6 2NS.
- All driving lessons will be in Dual Controlled Cars with a DSA ADI (a Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor), so that young people can develop car control skills before they go out onto the public Highway.
- We now have an automatic car that can have adaptations added for learners with disabilities or for anyone that would like to have lessons in this type of car.
