Young Driver Testimonials...

We have recently provided young driver courses working with local authorities in the north yorkshire area. Here are some of the comments from participants.

John from Durham took part in our last young drivers course: "Thoroughly enjoyed the day with the DriverSkills team! I found the day to be very informative and it covered all the relevant areas"

Michael from Selby also took part in the course: "Had a fantastic day on the track! As I had only recently passed my driving test and was a little nervous about driving on my own, I found the course gave me the knowledge and insight into what was to come! I have now grown in confidence and driving is now much more enjoyable"

Anna from Darlington booked a 1/2 day on the Skid Pan: "It was a such good fun on the skid pan, you get to learn many characteristics and responses from the car as it is put into such situations"
