Opportunities For Young Drivers At Arena

Recommended Posts

Following the success of the first ever Young Driver's course held in the FlyDSA Arena car park on Sunday 30th August the event will be returning to the Arena in Sheffield for another 3 dates on Sunday 20th September, Saturday 24th October & Saturday 28th November 2020.


A driver training course which allows 10-year olds to get behind the wheel in a bid to create a safer next generation of drivers, is moving to a larger venue in Sheffield thanks to high demand for lessons.


The car park will be transformed into a realistic road system on selected weekend dates so youngsters can work on a range of driving skills and manoeuvres.


Young Driver is the UK’s largest provider of pre-17 driving lessons, having delivered over 800,000 lessons at more than 70 venues across the UK. Youngsters have lessons in dual controlled Vauxhall Corsas – with a brand new fleet of Vauxhall Corsa SE Premium arriving since lockdown began – with highly qualified approved driving instructors.


A road system is created, with traffic signs, roundabouts and junctions, along with special areas to practice manoeuvres such as steering control and parking. The emphasis of the lessons is on safety and fun and encouraging youngsters to consider how to drive responsibly, giving them time to perfect driving skills such as gear changes, braking and steering without the pressures of public roads.

Current dates Young Driver will be running at FlyDSA Sheffield Arena are Sunday 20th September, Saturday 24th October and Saturday 28th November. Driving tuition is available for disabled youngsters and Young Driver can also cater for birthday parties. Thirty or sixty-minute lessons must be booked in advance and prices start from £31.99.


Safety procedures are currently in place to protect both pupils and instructors, including the wearing of masks, social distancing and regular hand and vehicle sanitisation.

I agree, and 5 year olds seem pretty young to me.

So which is it, 5-17 year olds or 10-17 year olds.
None of the text mentions anything other than 10-17, but the pictures say 5.
