The best driving lesson gifts for truckers and lorry drivers allow them to practise their driving skills in a different type of vehicle away from an HGV cab.
While technically not strictly classed as a driving lesson as there’s no exam at the end, the experiences with DrivingExperience are valuable because they allow participants to see how other vehicles perform, which is all good knowledge for their everyday driving job.
An experience that turns it up a notch
After spending all day stuck in traffic jams, navigating busy streets and endless miles on the motorway, then truckers and lorry drivers can be easily forgiven for wanting to let off some steam.
And what better way than by giving them a Supercar Experience in such marques as Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, Porsche and Aston Martin.
While HGV drivers are used to handling power, learning to control it in a more compact supercar is a whole new ball game. These machines are among the pinnacle of mechanical engineering and, much like a lorry, often require a deft touch to get the most out of them.
Classic car driving experiences to turn back the clock
With more traffic on the road than ever before, giving truckers and lorry drivers the chance to return to a golden era of motoring is something they will treasure.
Some of the amazing Classic Cars available to drive which instantly conjure up images of driving through leafy lanes and picturesque villages, include the Jaguar E-Type, Morris Minor Convertible and MG B Roadster.
For those with a few more trucking miles under their belt, there’s also the chance to relive their youth in a Ford Escort RS Mk1 or a Volkswagen Golf GTI.
Drifting for a totally unique package
Going sideways is the order of the day with Drifting, a world away from what a trucker or lorry driver would normally want to experience.
Drifting is a motoring artform, using oversteer to get the vehicle to drive sideways through corners.
Control and precision are key, a technique already mastered by HGV drivers in their own vehicles, but with drifting it is for a very different purpose.
Once again, it’s all valuable, additional time behind the wheel that can make drivers, whether that’s driving a lorry or their own car, become more rounded.
Going off-road offers another skillset
Most lorries are not designed for Off-Road Driving and are much more at home on the asphalt, but that doesn’t mean learning to drive off-road isn’t a sensible thing for truckers and lorry drivers to learn.
It’s also incredibly good fun, tackling the terrain while driving through mud, water and steep inclines.
Unusual driving experiences for truckers and lorry drivers
Without HGV drivers, the country would grind to a halt. There’d be no food in the supermarkets and no fuel at the petrol stations, for example.
They deserve to let their hair down, and what better way than with a driving experience they’d least expect, such as in a hovercraft or rally driving. Another great reason to book with DrivingExperience.
