Our Private Road Circuit for Driving Lessons

Under 17 driving lessons are given on our superb 1.5km private road circuit near Farnborough

We now offer two different private road circuits enabling us to offer you driving lessons under 17 without a provisional licence. Technically you could drive off-road at any age, but our insurance allows us to teach 14, 15 and 16 year olds without a driving licence.

15 and 16 year olds can learn to drive on our off road driver training track

See LOCATION MAPS.

EELMOOR (near Aldershot) - our first site and featured in the video below.

A 1.5km circuit with a good road surface, road markings and no kerbs. Features a 0.5 mile straight allowing plenty of opportunity for gear change practice.

RUSHMOOR (near Aldershot) - our second site (see video on www.RushmoorArena.com)

A 58 acre site offering more junctions, a variety of road surfaces (including potholes!), various hills and a large area for reversing exercises.

What facilities do the off road driver training sites offer?

Firstly it is important to point out that being MoD facilities rather than public tracks there are no toilets or catering facilities - please bear this in mind when planning your day! Cafe and toilet facilities are available near each site - for Eelmoor/Rushmoor there is a large Tesco store in Aldershot, for Barton Stacey there is a Little Chef and Petrol Station on the A303 just by the junction for our site.

But the positives far outweigh the negatives as the driving sites are superb for driving lessons! It's called "off road" because it is not on the public road, but it's not an off-road dirt track!

The tracks we use have long straights allowing us to practice gear changing all the way up to 5th gear and to practice overtaking in complete safety. We also have the flexibility to simulate dual carriageway scenarios or to simulate meeting or crossing opposing traffic on a single carriageway road. They offer a variety of bends and junctions, allowing us to teach novice drivers how to approach and deal with a variety of hazards. (See Topics for a full explanation of which elements of the Learning to Drive syllabus we can cover off road on our under 17 driving lessons).

Advantages of learning to drive on our off-road circuit

You can learn to drive under 17 without a provisional licence on our private off road circuit

There are no barriers at the edge of the tarmac (unlike a racetrack). This (along with the absence of any other cars!) makes it a very safe environment to learn to drive in.

This is where we teach 15 and 16 year olds to drive a car

Additionally, since it is a private road system, we are able to stop the car at any point and get out to look at features of the road to assist or reinforce learning. For instance to reinforce learning about stopping distances we can put markers down and get out of the car and walk back to really understand just how far the car travelled before stopping, and how this is affected by different speeds. Or we can ask a pupil to assess on foot where they think they will need to brake for a particular corner at a particular speed, put a marker down, then get in the car and see how good their assessment was in reality. These sorts of facilities allow our students to gain real understanding of the concepts, rather than just learning stopping distances by heart for example from the Highway Code.

There is a car park and parents are welcome to wait and watch their sons or daughters during their under 17 driving lessons.

There are very few places around the UK where you can learn to drive under 17 on an off road private road circuit, and even fewer where you can have 1-to-1 driving lessons aged 15 or 16 following a structured programme. So if you are serious about getting a head start on learning to drive then book your lessons today - availability is strictly limited.
