Learning to drive earlier

Learning to drive earlier

It’s great that the Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy is giving young people the opportunity to start learning to drive from as young as ten. By having the chance to master basic driving skills in the safe and controlled environment of the handling circuits at the Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy, young people can gain confidence and focus on controlling the car before they have to deal with traffic situations out on the public roads.

I was behind the wheel of a go-kart at the age of eight, so by the time I passed my driving test aged 17, I was already quite experienced. But I’m aware of the statistics about young people dying on the roads, and any scheme that helps stop that can only be a good idea. Take your time to learn the basics properly, gain confidence and enjoy it! It’s not all about passing the driving test. It’s about becoming a safe and experienced driver.

I’m really happy to be associated with the Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy, and honoured to be a founder member.
