YOUNG DRIVER EXPERIENCE GIFT VOUCHER
We are real fans of what Young Driver is doing, and we personally think a Young Driver experience is greater than any physical gift at Christmas, as it offer’s kids from as young as 9 years old (if they are tall enough) the change to drive a REAL car! Young Driver is a fantastic idea, as they offer unique driving experiences on private land for those too young to drive legally.
Sam’s View: This is a really fantastic idea as Young Driver offer unique driving experiences on private land, with a fully qualified instructor. You get to learn so much!
RRP: From £53.99 for 30 minutes
