Under 17's Driving Lessons at Henstridge Airfield

Learn to drive before you turn 17 in the safety of our off road training area - No need for a provisional licence and no previous

driving experience neccesary. Open to anyone aged 10+ that meet the minimum height of 4ft 8ins.

Henstridge Airfield

Get off to a great head start with learning the basics of driving and road safety and be the envy of your friends. All our cars are dual controlled for your safety and you will be given a qualified driving instructor to guide you through everything.

Your driving session will normally be 60 mins of one to one training but you can book longer if you like. Your driving session will mirror what you would learn on our regular driving lessons with our DVSA approved driving instructors, except this will be taught in the safety of the Henstridge Airfield where you will be able to relax without the worry of dealing with the traffic of the roads.

As you progress then you will be challenged even more, when you are ready your driving instructor will help you learn how to reverse into restricted spaces, Parallel Park and negotiate our salom.

Henstridge Airfield has plenty to offer and we guarantee you will be going home with a big smile on your face and you will be eagar to return.

What you can expect from your sessions with us.

If a new beginner, you will be taught how to set yourself up in the car, followed by basic clutch control with moving off and stopping, the changing of gears and steering.

As you progress or if you have previous experience then we will teach you how to deal with other traffic, carryout an emergency stop along with some reversing and turning exercises.

Groups Or Special Occasions

We are able to accommadate groups for specially organised driving events if this is something you require. Starting 2013 and again each year since, we have ran a special event for Dorset Blind Association where members were able to full fill their life long dream of getting behind the wheel for the very first time and I am pleased to say they couldnt get enough of it and have vowed to return again for another session soon.
