Ever wondered what it feels like to drive a car? Now you can experience the excitement of being behind the wheel before you even have your provisional licence!
Clacton Shopping Village is delighted to host AB-Drive Anchor’s exclusive young driver experience, giving teenagers and nervous beginners the chance to learn essential driving skills in a safe, private, off-road environment.
Whether you’re aged 15–17 and looking for a head start, or you’re 17+ and feeling nervous about starting driving lessons, this is the perfect opportunity to build confidence before heading out onto the road.
Each participant will enjoy a one-to-one session with a fully qualified driving instructor in a dual-controlled automatic or manual vehicle. With the instructor having their own set of controls, you can relax and learn at your own pace in a safe and supportive environment.
During your session, you’ll learn key driving skills including:
✅ Moving off and accelerating smoothly
✅ Braking and clutch control
✅ Steering techniques
✅ Correct road positioning
✅ Traffic sign recognition
✅ Advanced skills such as reverse parking
A fantastic way to get an early introduction to driving, helping you develop confidence and understand the basics before you can legally drive on public roads.
If you’re nervous about starting lessons, this relaxed, off-road experience provides the perfect first step towards becoming a confident driver.
£30 per 30-minute session
Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.
There’s more to enjoy at Clacton Shopping Village on the day, including a fun competition where visitors could win a fantastic driving prize!
A classic Mini will be filled with helium balloons, and shoppers are invited to guess how many balloons are inside for the chance to win a £200 driving lesson voucher, generously provided by AB-Drive Anchor.
The lucky winner will receive five driving lessons, with the choice of learning in either a manual or automatic vehicle — the perfect opportunity to build confidence and start their driving journey.
