Further Information

Our experience is supported by survey evidence, showing that our approach produces novice on-road drivers who, at age 17, are: Significantly less likely to be involved in a road traffic collision; and Significantly less likely to be convicted of a motoring offence. As you might expect from the name, the Under 17 Car Club is a Club where young people (aged between 12 and 15 years) can learn to drive motor vehicles.

The Club currently has around 300 Members, and accept any individual (waiting list permitting) that is tall enough to drive and is between the age of 12 and 15 years during the year of joining.

This means that young people can join the Club when they are 11, provided that their 12th birthday occurs during their first season, but once their 15th birthday has passed they are too old. Get in touch if you are interested in joining in 2013!.
