Driving lessons for those aged between 10 and 17 years old will be taking place at Stoneleigh Park.

Young Driver provides of pre-17 driving lessons and will be running driving lessons for on October 27.

Lessons are taking place with the appropriate safety measures in place, and should they need to be cancelled due to illness, self-isolation or lockdown, they can be rebooked for a later date.

On a realistic road system with junctions, traffic lights and roundabouts, pupils can learn how to get started, steer, change gear and even try reverse parking thanks to the scheme, which aims to improve the safety of the UK’s young drivers.

The scheme has delivered 900,000 lessons since it launched more than 10 years ago.

Sue Waterfield, head of marketing at Young Driver, said: “It’s been a difficult time for our youngsters, with many of the activities they would normally do being put on hold, so it’s great we’ve been able to safely restart our lessons.

"Young Driver lessons are great fun, but they’re also beneficial from a road safety perspective – as a pedestrian, cyclist and a future driver.

"We also get a lot of comments from parents saying it’s helped boost the self-confidence of their child, seeing how they can take on something which they wouldn’t typically be able to try.

"At the moment it’s nice for them to be able to do something away from screens which makes them smile!”

Young Driver regularly runs events at Stoneleigh Park on selected weekend dates across the year and in school holidays.

Driving tuition is available for disabled youngsters and those with additional needs.

Lessons must be booked in advance and last either 30 or 60 minutes.
