Happy teenager!
My son has audhd, today was his seventh lesson.
The lesson went really well and it has boasted his confidence loads. While he was driving he looked really happy and having fun. I booked another lesson for him afterwards.
Thumbs up to Young Driver.
Good venue at Kempton Park.
Plenty of space and good views, not like Wembley.
Amazing
It was absolutely amazing and everyone was so nice. Everyone had such positive vibes would definitely recommend to my friends. My driving instructor was Atto and I hope I have him next time I come.
Made to feel relaxed
Made to feel relaxed , explained what they were doing , would recommend, and we will be back again , this was our 2nd time .
Very well organised
Very well organised, friendly and professional staff. A lovely taster of driving for my daughter in the future. She thoroughly enjoyed herself. Thanks team!
The 'mock' driving test. Utter waste of time and money.
The 'mock' test. Despite him explaining on the booking that he'd taken his test a few times but as now at uni hadn't had recent lessons so wanted to see where he was going wrong in the test. They did none of the manoeuvres, was offered no advice or insight on his driving and the instructor couldn't even remember my son's name, had to be reminded 3 times. Lazy,pointless, utter waste of money, do not recommend.
Not a happy child
my son felt that the instructor was shouting at him a lot and confusing him. I still think these experiences are great and lots of kids really enjoyed it so prepared to try again
Great experience
Great experience for my 13 year old daughter. Really well organised, instructors were friendly and professional.

I was optimistic about doing this as i was ripped off doing a supercar experience myself! However no hard upsales of extra insurance,extra this and extra that all we were asked was would we like the experience recorded which was only £18.99 for the card! Refreshments were available to purchase and no extortionate prices for these either! All the staff were friendly,informative and professional and my ten year old had the best experience ever! Please do try this company as was worth the money and a great afternoon out! Thanks to Vim for his patience and calmness with my son.
Superb experience
Superb experience! Granddaughter loved it -second time with Trish
The professional of the instructors…
The professional of the instructors makes this company exceptional. Parents can rest assured that their child is in very competent hands.
Young Driver - Braehead
Young Driver was a great in sight into driving for my 10 year old. Julie at Braehead was a patient & lovley instructor. We will definitely be booking more lessons in the future.
Safe learning environment
Safe learning environment for inexperienced drivers. Helpful instructors.
Very useful for the boy as a taster
Great experience and good organisation
Well worth the money - fantastic experience for any child
My son's first Young Driver experience at Westpoint, Exeter was truly fabulous. Very slick set-up, smart cars, and lovely people, particularly the super driving instructor with whom my son had a fantastic hour behind the wheel. We were so impressed that we booked a second session before we left - my son can't wait for the next one!
Fantastic experience
The driving instructor was fantastic, positive and inspiring and well as extremely informative. This is such a great way to get enthusiastic youngsters more comfortable and confident at driving before they are allowed on the public road.
Daughter first driving lesson
It was my daughter (16) first driving lesson . I was amazed of what was achieved and how after this great experience she is now looking forward to more . The instruction was brilliant as was learning in a safe space away from traffic stress . A brilliant first step , thank you
Absolutely fantastic Fire Engine…
Absolutely fantastic Fire Engine driving experience for my two grandsons. They were over the moon being able to drive a fire engine, lights flashing, sirens blaring, they even gave a ‘wee cheeky wave’ on way past 🤣. Instructor was brilliant with the two of them, he done an amazing job talking/guiding them through the ‘drive’. This was given as a Xmas gift , which I’ll be purchasing again for my other grandchildren this Xmas. Awesome gift for a youngster.
