Excellent. My dd has had a lesson every few months for the last two years. She loves it and its something I would definitely recommend whether as a one off treat or a regular thing.

My ds had one when he was 12 and loved it. Would love to get him some more

Looks pretty expensive

I've been meaning to book DD's first lesson for the summer. Her brother loved his young driver lessons.

Uh what? These are more than normal lessons and they are already extortionate. What a con

Hi guys I’m looking for any information and advice I can get on this. A week ago I have been diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy and I have been sent for surgery. After the operation I have been informed that in fact it was not an ectopic pregnancy and that I am still pregnant. Has anyone went through the same and ended having a healthy pregnancy?

@NoFucksImAQueen they are bloody expensive but I'm pretty sure your bog standard driving instructor wouldn't let my 12 yr old dd loose in their learner car. We've found a local guy who is cheaper but he wont take kids till they're 14. For now these do us. Early bird offer knocks money off as well( but they dont mention that!)

@Melmel22 I'll ask for your post to be removed to the pregnancy board. . Hope you are ok.

My son did these for a while. They are expensive, but he enjoyed them and it gave him confidence behind the wheel.
It didn't really help when he started proper lessons at 17 though. Big difference driving around a closed off airfield or road to actually driving on a very busy road having a lesson. His young driver experience didn't take this into account.

But row what benefit are they? They are saying in the post we all know the younger you are better you learn etc which yes is true but 17 is hardly old they still learn quickly then and they can actually pass their test. It's a gimmick and if they want to advertise this as something fun then fine but dont make out like its any help towards actual lessons

I think they do help when you start to drive, just a couple of times a year from 13 to 16 helps quite a lot, just for familiarity....

My son's had a few lessons with Young Driver and they do help prepare them for the road. He knows how to change gear and control the car - so when he's 17 and goes on the road he'll be able to concentrate more on all the other stuff!

I think the point is you don't want them to 'learn quickly' and try pass their test as soon as they can - you want them to learn for as long as possible so they properly know what they're doing. Practice makes perfect and all that.

But there's no denying my son thinks they're really good fun too! So win win!

Is this for The UK? You have to be 17 to obtain a provisional licence?

Yes, UK orange. They just don't drive on public roads. Mine have been to newbury showground and a car park in Southampton for their YD lessons. They set up traffic lights, practice parking, braking etc.

Really good for car control and drumming some common sense into them as teens.

Just realised I cant use this discount as we always book the 9.30am slot and get an early bird discount. Just read the terms and conditions and you cant use two offers. Shame.

ingenie are great

Eh? I thought this was an April Fool at first.

How could a 10-year-old even reach the pedals! Some of them are tiny.

It never fails to amaze me what people will pay for nowadays. What next? Send your embryo to college?

Voucher code doesn't work.

Hi @missmouse101 - sorry to hear the voucher code isn't working for you. Could you let us know for what time slot you are booking for and where you're putting the code? So we can see what the issue might be.

Thanks!

What next? Send your embryo to college? LOL!

So that's what all those things were floating around the Sheffield open day!

Hi Sorcha, I was putting it in 3pm on Sunday 29 March at 3pm at Chepstow racecourse. I have just tried again and it's worked now! Thanks!

Can the code be used for the young driver plus experience?

Hi @Whatthefunk

Do you mean the Young Driver Advanced Skills Day? If so, then yes the code can be redeemed on that.

Do bear in mind, participants need to have had two or more Young Driver lessons previously to go on the Skills Day.

Thanks
