under17's driving in essex? help please :)
Hi all, Got a mate who wants to find out about an apparent under 17s driving school in essex (wants it for a birthday present) but a few googles have come up with nothing. Apparently there is basically a road layout, but off the road, where you can learn to drive.
Anyone know where it is/what its called/website/contact details? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

it depends what you want from it.
what i done was go in one of there cars, so it was crap, you had to use both hands on wheel, check mirrors, etc- hardly fun, its basicly a driving lesson, id rather be at home cos once on the real roads it didnt help at all.
but if you went in your own car, just for a drive & fun, id imagine it could be fun.

2) obviously you have to drive like that, as they're teaching them the test, so they dont have to wait til they're 17 to start learning, they're hardly going to let 16 year olds who have never driven before go hooning round like its a racetrack are they
And why the fuck would you go once you can drive? Surely you'd just go on the road. I think you've totally missed the point in this place if I'm honest mate.

a girl will probably prefer it to a bloke imo tho.
all im saying is- it wont help imo, you would be better waiting for on road lessons, different instructor will teach you totaly different so it wont help.

What's wrong with driving with both hands on the wheel, or checking your mirrors?

i think you lot have missed my point-
if your thinking of buying it for someone to have some fun driving then it is crap, cos its not fun.
if your buying it for someone who wants to learn to drive, then yes they may like it- but it will not help them in the slightest imo.

I went there with my mum when i was about 12 in a sierra, the car came home on an AA truck, with a knackered clutch opps
was Ł8 back in 92/93, last price i heard was Ł14, if you have use of your own car you just turn up and drive
Also had a mate who had about 10 1hr lesson / session with instructors there when he was 16, had 2hrs driving on the roads on his 17th birthday and the test in the afternoon, and passed! no theroys back then

in the summer it's as busy as fuck!
i'm going past there tomorrow but everytime you go past all you see are drivers who are being very careful in their cars around a little track
it'll be nice to be able to get behind thw heel of a car in controlled areas though so go for it
