Tyne-And-Wear Driving Lessons

Home to the busting city of Newcastle that has become synonymous with the North East of England, the area of Tyne-And-Wear borders beautiful Northumberland to the north and picturesque County Durham to the south. Some notable towns include Sunderland, Gateshead and South Shields which are among some of the most populated areas after Newcastle. Although this rich and varied area of the country is known for its unique Geordie accent and the Angel of the North, it's also home to a huge range of venues that host Junior Driving Lessons for Under 17s. 

Getting your youngster started before they turn 17 is one of the best ways to combat the soaring price of lessons and test availability as it can help spread the cost before having official lessons, and give them the basic skills to approach driving with confidence. Newcastle Racecourse and Gateshead, Metrocentre Coach Park are just a few of the venues offering Young Driver Training Lessons for children between 10-17. On these lessons, they will be accompanied by an instructor in a Manual Vauxhall Corsa or something similar - but all vehicles used will be equipped with dual control. Once they get familiar with braking, steering and clutch control, they will be taken on a replica driving course that mimics junctions, road signs and roundabouts. In a safe and controlled environment, they will soon walk away mastering the basics, setting them up for later in life when they start over 17 lessons.

What's more, even younger children can have a go at driving with our Firefly Sport Kids Driving Experience designed for children aged between 4-10 years old. Available at Gateshead, young children can enjoy a drive around a special track designed by experts and have a go at steering and breaking. These nifty little Firefly's have disc brakes, working indicators and are powered by twin Lithium batteries - giving them an authentic experience in a real but immature car!
