Give your kids the perfect start towards getting their own driving licence this Christmas
(26/10/2009)

This Christmas you can give your kids the perfect start towards getting their own driving licence. The SEAT Young Driver sponsored by Admiral MultiCar gets children as young as 11 behind the wheel, with the aim of making them safer drivers when they are old enough to hit the roads for real.

Research shows that new drivers are safer the earlier they start to learn and the new Young Driver scheme provides lessons from advanced driving tutors in a safe environment. Lessons, available at weekends and during school holidays, are provided in either 30 or 60-minute sessions, and are available to children between 11 and 16 who are at least 1.5 metres tall.

The first of a network of Young Driver centres opened in October 2009 at the NEC in Birmingham. More are due to open in 2010, at Manchester, London and Edinburgh.

Vouchers are available from the website, priced at £29 for 30 minutes and £55 for an hour.

All of the instructors have been checked by the Criminal Records Bureau.
