First Drive

A driving experience course in Essex designed for non licence holders to discover the thrill of driving a car for the first time.

In safe, controlled conditions an approved Driving Instructor will show you the rudiments of driving and you'll gain confidence in open spaces and a relaxed atmosphere. This experience is all about helping young (and not so young!) learners to make the most of that crucial first drive – to learn more, to experience more and to have lots of fun too.
